How To: Pendlay Row

[GreySilo]

The pendlay row was designed to be explosive and concentric only. Do not lower it in a slow and controlled manner. Allow it to fall as if dropping it but without letting go and let it hit the ground and stop completely before the next
Rep (no bouncing).

Not doing this fatigues the lower back to quickly and limits the weight used.

DAYUM! Scott is looking LEAN! good work brother!

[KhaledAljohany]

Thank scott .. U have one of the best channel .. The first channel that i watch before two years its yours .. Much love man from saudi Arabia

[Tommyblueeyes]

good lift this is. Increases alot of strength. I would perform this after deadlifts on dead day.

What’s the difference between this and the 7th April 2012 Bent over Row that you did???

[cfeclipse]

Ya I did this today and it felt great I felt the burn I will have to do this more often

[johnerwin]

Looking good/also try this form rowing✔️

[josehernandez-vvwm]

can this exercise be do on a Smith machine

[amcarte]

Hey Scott i really want to thank you for all the informative videos. I just started working out again after years of being off and pretty much anytime I want to make sure I'm doing an exercise correctly i just look up your videos. My family does the same thing. Keep up the great work and thanks again for sharing you knowledge!

Sorry for the noob question but what's the difference between this end a barbell row?

[cfeclipse]

I'm doing back and biceps tom so I'm gonna throw this in and give it a try it looks like it really works your back

[AshScotland]

does this just look the same with dumbbells Scott?

[sticksquash]

You say feet shoulder width apart but in the video you have them about hip width and 10 degrees like in a deadlift?

As a minimum, I think you should know the form of the lift you are demonstrating. You do not lower the bar in a controlled manner. The PR has an explosive concentric phase and no resistance on the descent. The PR targets the upper back and explosiveness, whereas other bent row variants, with more accent to the upper body, better target the lats. The PR is also very good for ending fixed contract gym memberships because the gym staff will happily waive any contractual obligations to get rid of you. At least, that's been my experience. Usually your lifting tutorials are fairly sound but this one is a bit off. Qualification: At the very low weight you demonstrate, you can control the eccentric for more time under tension and muscle growth but this cannot be applied at heavier weights. More than this, explosiveness and a strict oppositional movement to the bench press are the primary virtues of the PR so it makes sense to go as heavy as you can without form corruption, and to do it as a PR rather than some hybrid that will not optimise the lifts key training effect. On another, less important point, Glen Pendlay promoted this form of row and has become associated with it. I call them Pendlay Rows like most people (who know what they are) but they existed before Pendlay did and he talks about this. The research required to know this stuff is negligible and would enhance the credibility of your site.

What is a good routine to burn fat and build muscle on a 4 day split?

[garagefitworkouts]

There does not seem any reference anywhere on other instuctional videos (and also yours) regarding correct leg width stance...can you explain further please?

[Kevn]

I find it almost impossible to keep good form the heavier weight I use.

[HarrisonInman]

Benefit wise, how is this different from a bent over row?

[timcountryman]

Thank you for the videos. An explanation of the muscles used in this vid helped a ton. This is where I turn to when I need to learn more.

So do you inhale or exhale on the way up?
