About

It's a good workout for back muscle development by bending and lifting the barbell on the ground!

How to Pendlay Row

Starting Position

1. Please position your shins 3cm away from the barbell.

2. Please spread your legs shoulder-width apart.

3. Slightly push your hips back while naturally bending your knees.

4. Grab the barbell with shoulder-width grip and open your chest.

Proper Form

1. Please pull towards your belly button so that the barbell can go up vertically.

2. While gathering your shoulder blades, naturally pull your elbows and hands.

3. Hold the weight with your back strength and lower it completely to the ground.

Breathing Technique

Exhale when lifting the barbell and inhale when lowering it.

Precautions

1. Please be careful not to let your elbows flare out.

2. Please be careful not to overly straighten your back or move it up and down.

3. Engage your core to prevent your back from rounding.
