Hit 265 on back rows for reps, feeling strong.

Been a great month for gains thus far, shaping to be the summer of dreams.

Pendlay rows or a "bent" row?

 

[willie mcfly22]

Is there major advantages to eating reg eggs vs jus egg whites?? I'm jus on egg whites. I'll boil whole eggs tho for a snack or throw in my salads but for breakfast it's jus usually egg whites...

Pendlay rows or a "bent" row?

I don't think it matters. Both are just assistance exercises

Exactly but Bent Over for my man who was asking.

Expecting another PR on deadlift next week.

 

[jkitty]

I was asking what type of row he was doing with that weight. Its alot harder to pendlay row 265 than a "bent" row. And I wouldn't call rows an assistance exercise either.

 

[baltimoregutta]

Rows are a main compound exercise... Well, barbell rows in my opinion...

 

[everysingletime]

It depends on what discipline you're in. Crossfitters and weightlifters consider rows assistance exercises. I'm assuming powerlifters fall along that same line of thinking. Rows can be a main lift for a bodybuilder.

 

[jkitty]

So what are considered the main compound back exercises besides pull ups and deads?

 

[everysingletime]

It's obvious that you're looking at things from a bodybuilding perspective in which case I already said rows a can be considered a main lift.

In fact, I don't think assistance exercises exist in bodybuilding... Now that I think about it.

 

[stuntman mike]

pendlay rows, power cleans and that one rippetoe exercise that's like an extended, throwing skullcrusher (that i don't do because it looks tough on the rotator).

Just read everything on the site I posted earlier, http://stronglifts.com/5x5/ . Dude makes it so simple and is very much detailed. I'm gonna start the program on Sunday. Can't wait to see results. I'm tired of my bench presses being week, lol Only thing I'll say is its gonna be weird doing only 3 exercises per workout session. I'm gonna find a way to incorporate pull ups and push ups.

 

[jkitty]

You still didn't answer the question. What are the main lifts for the back in other disciplines besides pull ups and deads, since rows are not viewed as one? I'm interested in knowing I'm not trying to be s smarta**.

 

[certifiedflyboi23]

I think lat pull downs

 

[everysingletime]

Well, for one thing, the other disciplines are more performance oriented than body oriented. There are no 'main lifts for the back,' they just use movements that happen to utilize the back.
For Weightlifters it's just the clean and jerk and snatch. All other lifts are considered assistance exercises.
For powerlifters, it's just the deadlift, and indirectly the squat. All other movements are considered assistance exercises.
For the Crossfitters, there's a longer list of main movements, there's the Olympic lifts, the deadlift, squat variations, pull ups, muscle ups and the row machine. We'll use pendalay rows and bent over rows on occasion during strength portions but I've never seen it done in a wod. It's the only reason why I would consider the rows an assistance exercise even though technically assistance exercises don't exist in crossfit.

Feels good brahs. Nothing better then not playing ball for about 4 months and still having it.

Throw in some isolation movements as well to get some hypertrophy in there. Once you run it for long enough, you'll know where your weaknesses are on each lift and you can choose which assistance movements you like best.

Anybody use groupon? Going to take boxing classes from Groupon this week.

 

[everysingletime]

I've used Groupon for boot camp, boxing, yoga and crossfit classes. Nice was to try out different things for cheap.

 

[willie mcfly22]

Might order from BB more often when they include free shakers. Good look again to whoever posted that sale the other day...

 

[santi19]

Anyone care to share a PPL routine? Thinking on going that route next. Thanks in advance.
