this thread is funny.
i started doing pendlay rows this past training cycle. i find them much harder than a typical bent over row because there’s no stretch reflex in the bottom to keep the bar moving. i’ll attach two vids that i have of my bent over barbell rows and the pendlay rows. i’ve done over 400lbs for reps with the bent over row with what i think is pretty good form and i’ve done 405 for a few reps with the pendlay row and they were hard as shit. i videoed todays last set with 315. hopefully my form was good enough to actually call them pendlay rows.
here’s my bent over row form-
here’s today’s pendlay rows-
feel free to critique the shit out of them. they seem to work though.
