  • Should you be doing Bent Over Rows or Pendlay Rows?
    Personally, I prefer the Pendlay Rows for strength and Bent Over Rows for hypertrophy.
    Both have their place in training, but if you have a specific training goal, one of these might be better suited for you than the other.

    I’ve never done Pendley Rows but I’ll give it a try,,, the video made me prefer Pendley until I reached the end of the video when Marcus says Pendley is for strength and Bentover Row is for hypertrophy!

    • @oakcode
      @oakcode 6 місяців тому

      Yes, Pendley rows are for men only. Real men prefer to be strong over looking strong.
      P.S. But if your not doing pendley rows there is a rule, that you cannot use men restroom, only woman.

    Is it okay to also go a bit explosively on the barbell row? I can't actually hold the barbell against my chest unless I lower the weight a lot. Otherwise, I have to use the inertia from my pull to make it briefly touch my chest. But I worry about whether I might be underworking whichever muscle closes that final inch (God knows I'm terrible at back anatomy lol)

    • @FunctionalBodybuilding
      @FunctionalBodybuilding  6 місяців тому +1

      We'd recommend lowering the weight. You want full range of motion always. Even with less weight, getting the full row all the way to your chest is what is going to give you the most well developed, well rounded muscle.

    @phillyphilly1076 7 місяців тому +1

    Serious question. So if the goal is to have time under tension wouldn’t the pendlay row be counter intuitive to breaking down/tearing the muscle fiber? Since once you put the weight down even for a second the tension is gone.

    • @FunctionalBodybuilding
      @FunctionalBodybuilding  7 місяців тому +3

      Good question. The pendlay row will have less time under tension than the bent over row. It's meant to help you get more explosive off of the floor and work on heavy weight.

    Do them from the floor like pendlays, but control the eccentric to the point where you barely touch the floor between reps.
    I got to 5 reps of 2 plates with 'normal' pendlays technique and barely felt them in my back, and generally disliked them. It was also hard to be really consistent with the form.
    Started doing them as strict as possible, pausing at the top for all sets except the last one, and just one plate was enough weight to light up my entire back like nothing before.
    I have also done the bodybuilding style and again, don't feel the, really dislike them.
    But the way I do them now, no other exercise can compete for back building, not even pull-ups because they do fuck-all for the spinal erectors

    Bent over rows are hard on core. So it’s better to build up that core strength using pendlay rows.

    • @FunctionalBodybuilding
      @FunctionalBodybuilding  10 місяців тому +2

      If the hinge position is a challenge, you can always sub in dumbbells as this will be a little less challenging on the hinge and core than a barbell.

    Funny Glen Pendlay's name has carried on with that row variation since the early 2000s. Hes been given more fame to that row variation than is needed. Its just a deadstop reset start at the bottom. His name doesn't need to be there. How about doing one arm Dumbell rows the same manner then attaching your name to it. Noones done that yet

    I like bent over rows but it’s a bad excessive choice. It’s hard to stay at that bent angle and most people will stress their lower back. It’s also a short range of motion and most people will overdo it to try and get a “full” ROM

    The major difference between pendlay and bb row is the place where you try to pull. With pendlay - chest, with bb row - stomach. Both your variation are bb row. It has nothing to do with angle. If we use your logic then Arnold did pendlay row and Yates did bb row. But they both did bb row and none of them ever performed pendlay row
