PLEASE be CAUTIOUS when doing Renegade Rows.
I know many people love them but I have seen a SPEC OPS operator almost loose his trigger finger from a R.ROW's gone wrong. The down bell flipped mid row and the working arm/bell landed on the opp hand/fingers. You only have to see bones protruding from the skin once to pick risk vs reward on these!
Since that day I have never programmed them for any of my students or myself. IMHO - using the active negative of the military press and or pushups (regular or OA/OAOL) and pullups will give you plenty of pulling.
But hey.. just my opinion for what it is worth.
