CT:
I’ve always pulled my rows from pins the same height as my high pulls for 6- 8 reps with a two second pause, from just above the knees. The 45 degree back angle.
Question: Is from below the knees and parallel a better movement, more stretch and better range of motion? I just changed the angle this week…

I have my clients use the parallel (with row to stomach) 8 times out of 10. I feel that it is a superior overall back movement.

Do you recommend Pendlay rows? If so, do you still have your clients pull to the stomach? I’ve been pulling to the chest.

That’s my favorite type of rowing… I rarely if ever pull “to the chest”… when I say abdomen or stomach to me it can be anywhere from the navel up to the beginning of the rib cage/low part of the sternum. Honestly I adjust the pulling “target” depending on what I “see” when the person is doing it (I look at the back contracting and pick the target where there is the greatest back contraction).

Thx for the reply. I’m gonna experiment a little to find the sweet spot. I really like pendlay rows and I’ve been moving up fast on them. ( that’s on a cut )
