Pendlay rows vs. barbell rows

Thanks for all the comments, friends.

Seen Danzig live 2x. Wore my Danzig & Pantera shirts until they fell apart at the seams. Stoked to see Danzig is still at it despite being a fat balding geezer. Still think God himself wrote Sistinas with Danzig's pen.

Danzig is fat now? He used to look like a bodybuilder. He was one of the people that inspired me to get into shape (along with guys in UFC).

Jelly. Concerts and lifetime ear issues do not mesh well. LoL

I can't even say I have a favorite Danzig album... would have to be 1,2 or 3 though but they continued to evolve in their style and stayed great.

The live album was awesome, Thrall: DemonSweatLive.

i was never a fan of [pendlays since i pull with my arms too much

Take a look at where the force line is & notice how the brunt of the stimulation is in the upper back & rear delts, with the lats less involved. If I wanted to target the largest mass of back musculature & had to pick one exercise, Pendlay rows wouldn't be it. There's much more lower back stabilization required due to the length of the moment arm created in that position. This, along with lesser involvement from them there powerful lats compromises your load capacity. What you end up having to do is decrease the amount of weight on the bar just to be able to do the exercise. IMO, get your heavy stuff done first (ie, regular BB, DB, or cable rows), then if you insist on them, use Pendlays as an accessory movement to target the posterior shoulder musculature for prehab purposes & what have you (to balance out pushing work in that same anatomical plane).

if you did have to pick a single back movement for mass/strenght, which would you pick?

Well, he doesn't, so that's a pretty irrelevant question.
