Pendlay rows are a staple of my back day. I prefer them over traditional bent over rows to lower the strain on the lower back

Same here! Plus they have that sauce for other lifts whereas the bent over row doesn't have as much carryover, IMO.

Love the pendlay row and you gave an excellent breakdown. Peak training I used the pendlay row to increase my deadlift to what ended up being unforeseen heights. Overall a pendlay row gets your back big af

Hey Jake, off the top of your head, which older Reebok Nano models would you rate highly? Their older models are usually easily found affordably, but I don't know which models I should be looking for.

What is better for pendlay rows, going heavy with less reps or more reps less weight?

@thatfitfriend

Both can be awesome! It heavily depends on your training goals so there's no "one size fits all" answer here. IMO, I'd program each style based on your block goals. For example, if your goals are maximal strength and to load the back more then go heavy, if the goal is positioning, general strength capacity, and some hypertrophy, go lighter and hit higher volume!

I've been always approached by coaches on duty while performing this type of row. And they always give me advices (like "don't be parallel with the floor") which turn pendlay row into bent-over standing row.

Multiple ways to coach it, but I'd be curious their "why" behind that advice and if they realize how a true Pendlay row should be performed.

If you slow down the eccentric (not exceedingly slow, but just the speed you’d use on normal big lifts without a dead stop), is this a good hypertrophy move?

@thatfitfriend

Yeah! It also depends on what you're after. If you're using weight that's exceeding what you can row with that tempo, then you may shift away from a pure hypertrophy bias but if you regulate intensity then they should be solid. IMO, I'd give them a go for a couple of blocks and see what happens. You may find you love them or a total miss for your hypertrophy-focused goals

@@thatfitfriend I work out at home and do RDLs and various squats on lower days so I’m just trying to figure out if any barbell row variations really give me anything that DB rows, chest supported db rows, inverted rows, and meadows rows don’t already give me? And if those bb rows would interfere with my lower body recovery. What’s your thought?

@thatfitfriend

@@patrickjulius7352 I hear ya. I think the main benefit would be that you can load them heavier and if you're focused on torso gains as well you can use the barbell row/its variants to help passively build this as well. IMO, it wouldn't interfere that much but it depends on multiple programming variables that you'd have to play with and test. I'd play with some Pendlays and Meadows' rows and see how you like them. Fun barbell variations to keep in your toolbox

bluntly personal question: am i tripping or is there a bit of a midsection traffic jam trying to do this exercise through a big gut? does it mean my pendlay row form is bad if it feels like i'm trying to put my thighs, stomach, barbell, and abs all in the same narrow spot?

May need to change position or opt for a different exercise. Torso size and arm length can be limiters with these I've found with clients.

What shoes are those?

Shoulder position at start? Forward or back? I’d heard you should have your shoulders back.

Nope, that’s a misinterpreted cue, imo. Let the arms hang and let your scaps move. The whole “set the shoulders/scaps” is a sh*t cue that I wish coaches would stop using 😂

Shoot me a DM on ig and I can take a look. There are multiple deviations that you can see present in this exercise so you’re likely fine and overthinking. No such thing as a singular perfect form! We all move differently and self organize at diff thresholds
