Default Ever max out on barbell rows?

I did 275 overhand for a double today and I'm quite proud of myself.

Yep. It's fun. haha

I used to do fairly loose-form rows from the rack, but found that having the bar hang after each rep sucked. So I switched recently to doing them off the floor and resetting each rep, which I like better.

Well done TR.

I do mine off the floor. Much more upper back feel for me. Not hating on folks that don't. Just stating what I found to be true.

I've tried a Pendlay row max and was able to get 405. I found that standing more erect like some of the bodybuilders felt more like a power shrug, meaning the range of motion was shorter and I could use a lot more weight and body english. I tried up to 495 standing more erect but didn't like the feel.

With big rows like that you should be at a 400+ pound bench right now.

I'm close. 382.5 in competition, just missed 405. Probably could have hit 390-395 but I got greedy. I hit 430 in 1997 but my shoulders aren't what they used to be.

I haven't performed Pendlay's much recently. Hit a 365 single while training with Bruteforce a few weeks back. I did hit a dumbbell row set of 150x42 reps while training with Rich Knapp, and I did 215 x 10 reps a few years back.

My back has always been strong. Hence why I love deadlifts.

I always thought with a raw bench, that your max rowing power is extremely close to your max bench. I don't hear much talk about how closely related those are.

Not for me. My rows are much stronger.
