T-Bar Rows are a great exercise for back thickness. They are much safer than bent rows, as the back is in a much stronger position because of the angle of the bar. Keep the knees bent and a slight arch in your back. Pull back powerfully with the elbows, then slowly lower the bar back to the starting position. These can be done with a neutral grip, (see picture) or palms up and palms down grips. The angle of the hands will direct the emphasis to a different area in the lats.
