>>77325974(OP) Power rows are unironically cool if you control them and do them more as a controlled short reps squeeze thing where you hold it for a brief moment on the top than full swing from the ground

>>77326007 They count as cardio if you do them with a moderate weight and do tens of reps with pauses on floor when you need to.
>>77326081 Cope, she outbenches 95% of people here judging by the amount of sub-3pl benchers in bench threads

>>77326132 Is the knee angle based on preference or leg length?

>>77326144 You mean the heels-up benching style? It's a preference and allowed in some powerlifting federations, lets you push with quads

>>77326152 Yes and I would think you get more stability if the whole foot is pressed to floor (I know what leg drive is in bench) but I guess you get to leverage more when the knee is flexed ig.

>>77326161 In addition to pushing with quads it lets you to arch better, shortening ROM Heavy powerlifters with bad mobility/back arch typically put heels on the ground and push through heels. This allows for better stability as you said plus the initial explosive push from chest is stronger when pushing through heels. For women and fit people with good mobility it's always better to keep heels up. Powerlifting shoes also help a lot with stability.

>>77325974(OP) I like them but 99% of pendlay rowers just deadlift that shit, then chest fuck the bar back down to the ground and pretend it was a row.
I prefer seal rows but it's impossible to find a gym with a seal row station. I refuse to be the goblin that steals a bench and all the boxes to do them.

>>77325974(OP) Pendlay rows are better because you can enter your numbers on them on symmetricstrength.

>>77325974(OP) Aren't you supposed to keep your torso parallel to the floor through the whole rep, and touch the bar to your chest?

>>77326301 >>77326306 I'm not saying it's ineffective to do it like this, but it seems like it defeats the purpose and you may as well just do normal rows.

>>77326280 There will be some give to your back angle if you do real weight, but the bar should touch your chest each rep. Not touching is just a failed rep. And the OP isn't pendlay by any means, it's deadlift rows.
>>77325974(OP) Those are rows? Those are just doing aggressive deadlifts and then sort of leaning over the bar because you can't hold the weight or actually use any muscles in your back.

>>77326007 That's a fast track to snap city. Either control it and hold at the top or do it like "she"s doing and let it drop on the floor. Don't bungee jump on your muscles and tendons they will tear.

>>77326866 No. Those are "reasonably strict" as Sam says in the video. A power row I'd call what the hog in the OP is doing, touching your torso by any means necessary.
