Advantage: Old Fashioned T-Bar Row. INTRODUCTION: PENDLAY ROW VS BENT OVER BARBELL ROW . They are both compound exercises that focus mainly on your back muscles. Performing the row requires a weighted barbell and attention to detail when it comes to keeping proper form. The Pendlay row, unlike the bent over row is to be performed with strict form and the barbell is to be ‘reset’ on the floor between repetitions, ensuring you’re not jerking or leaning back to use momentum to drive the weight … Pendlay Rows vs. Bent-Over Rows So 95% of people I see doing rows do bent-over rows. Starting Strength was written by Rippetoe who owns the gym where Glenn Pendlay worked. The Pendlay row entails starting with the barbell on the ground like a deadlift before rowing the barbell while maintaining your back in an as horizontal as possible position. While they work the same muscle groups, the bent-over barbell row is slightly more advanced than the seated cable row and you need complete understanding of the proper execution to avoid injury. The Row is regarded as one of the best upper body exercises available, as it strengthens and develops a key muscle group that is often neglected- the back. Suspended rows tend to creep higher and become more of an upright row than a bent over row, placing more emphasis on the traps. Bent over rows, on the other hand, will test how well you can row in non stop fashion, without ground support. The Pendlay Row, aka the bent over or bent forward row, is a great assistance lifting exercise for many power, strength and fitness athletes. The author of ICF 5x5 used Starting Strength as inspiration. It’s not often an exercise edges out the bent-over row, but in this case, the bent-over row comes in second. The seated cable row and the bent-over barbell row are staple exercises in any workout routine. A major difference between the bent over row and the pendlay row is that when performing pendlay row you are required to put the bar on the ground after each rep. On the other hand, you cannot put the bar on the ground when performing bent over row. Lat muscle activity during the inverted row was about 60% greater than during the barbell row, which means it stimulated more muscle fibers to grow bigger. Pendlay rows are truly just a modified version of the original bent-over row. Pendlay rows are cool and dandy because you can break down each set into separate reps, re-setup yourselft and pull from mechanically better position. 03-09-2016, 09:52 AM #2. loganhart.
Winner: The inverted row
The scientists also reported that the inverted row didn’t stress the lower back as much as the barbell bent-over row. Because we’re focusing on the lower lats, it all comes down to your elbow position relative to your body.
Many people think that the Pendlay row is a conventional row done with a deweighting between reps." So there's more to it, but hell if I know what Last edited by Baradir; 03-08-2008 at 04:20 PM.
