            Tried it in my incline but the legs are set up weird. Cuts my range of motion in half. Might try raising it. Ill have to build something though. Itll have to go up a fair bit and i dont think stacking plates underneath would be a stable/smart solution

              If you have a bench, just do bench rows. Barbell goes underneath the bench (goal is to hit bench with barbell).

    Pendlay rows use too much the arms and not enough the back.
    Bent over rows with lots of "body english" / cheating where you allow the lats to stretch and the upper back to round at the bottom of the movement and you use the posterior chain to reverse the weight are so much better.
    Look up how Ed Coan did rows.

    What is the "1/2/3/4" for Barbell Row? Also, overhand or underhand?

    • 1 year ago
      Anonymous

      Like 175 - 225. My first inclination was to say 225, but 135 on this honestly feels like a lot for beginners. Feels like way more than 135 does on bench for beginners for example. To be honest though, op is right. This is a moronic exercise. I have done strength training for years and coached at the state and college level. Only morons do barbell rows instead of inverted rows

    It's a fine exercise but it's inherently inferior to regular bb rows, at least for size, because you don't use a controlled eccentric

    Hating this exercise is a tell-tale sign of a DYEL

    The reason most of you people hate them is because you're used to basically standing up straight doing your "rows" and this forces you to use your mid-back instead of basically your fricking traps

    The second reason you incels hate them is for the reason you posted - the "hurt"

    They hurt because your posterior chain is weak as frick and you're probably swinging the weight up which requires using your lower back.

    Basically the only people who hate this exercise are DYELs who have been ego lifting their "barbell rows" (basically bent over shrugs for them) and pendley rows force then ti actually use their lats/rhomboids/rear delts

      Way too high risk to reward ratio even if you do things right, inertia will always be there to put unnecessary extra stress on your back. While I think it's a good point about mid-back, weighted pullups and deadlifts just completely mog this one anyway if you go for strength. And even something like barbell seal rows seem superior for isolation purposes.

          Of a pulley system? Never seen that before. Sounds terribly janky honestly. Or pic related version? I see variations on those all the time. I like the feel of the pulley one more, but as the other anon said, super dependent on the weight limit of the one your gym has. Which in my case would be 0 lbs because I'm home gym now. 🙁

    They are fun to do at lower weights, but I have a lot of trouble progressing at them even with good hamstring and hip mobility. I have the same problem with them that I do with all the other barbell rows where my form breaks down as I start to cheat reps, no matter how slow I take them. Still I hate pendlays the least out of the barbell rows, and they don't hurt my lower back like some people here.

    Seated cable rows are literally the same fricking thing but isolate and target the muscles so much better, especially if you fully extend your legs and keep your upper body still. You can even do them explosively if you want to. Barbell lat compounds for horizontal pulls are a fricking meme.
