What's a respectable poundage for the barbell row?
-
I gonna reach 100kg soon.(should have reached this last year but...well it's bridge under the water now)
Is 100kg decent? -
I don't think there is anything wrong with pumping less iron. Instead one should d0 1 set of 80% of the max they can carry followed by sets of 90%. This not I say wan I read somewhere.

Depends on how heavy you are I guess. Before my injury I was pendlay rowing 95kg for 5 reps. That was my max, and I had to use some rest-pause for that so it's not touch and go. My weight has remained about the same(70-73kg)

Anyway,I do rows with my back 35-45 degrees to parallel.Pull the bar to the tummy area,squeeze for 1 sec and lower under control.

Decent then I guess. How much are you pressing though? Gotta make sure it's balanced too, rather than just looking at a single lift number.Originally posted by Marco_Simone:I am 88kg. -

how do u guys measure yr max lol...i m afraid to do my max for 1 rep,afraid of injuring myself..
well for me is 17.5 kg per side
on standard barbell 6-8 reps -
just do a weight which 5RM is your failure and make a guess, i guess. hehe..
-
You can do low reps(8RM or less) and calculate, or you can use a spotter to find out your 1RM for those more dangerous lifts. For rows you obviously won't need a spotter, either you can do it or you can't.

In sg, 2 plates and more will yield stares from everyone already.
