I'd like to comment about the dynamic row. I saw a variation of barbell row called a Pendlay row that seems to target the back more directly.
some discussions: http://www.elitefitness.com/forum/showthread.php?referrerid=100848&t=460585

Do you think that the Pendlay row is a good alternative to the dynamic row?
thanks!

They are nearly identical. It doesn't target the back differently and I've tried both. The dynamic row is safer since it makes you touch the floor between reps and disperses any shearing force that may show in your back.

won't be a good idea since the excel file does not properly load or de-load you

it can't and never will be since the excel file does not see how you perform

You would still need to have enough experience to know what you are doing, or it would be a waste of time to even try.

Now that we've hit about 40,000 readers to this thread and links from websites world-wide, I'd like to hear your feedback on how we can improve or add to this thread. The intention from the get-go was to clarify the best general starting-strength program in existence...a program that can save years of wasted effort. By no means is it the best, but it can get most to their most basic goals.

30+ years later, and Coach Starr is, (and will always be) "Coach" to me!
