According to Symmetric Strength (pic related) my Pendlay Rows

>>38398233
This is normal, strict form rows are fucking hard, don't worry.
Focus on your DLs and pullups and your back will get hyoog. Do rows at the end of a workout if you feel like it

>>38398233
If your pullups are full ROM and strong i wouldnt worry about it

>>38398353
So is Symmetric Strength just wrong when it comes to Pendlay Rows?

>>38398394
to add on to this, anecdotally I get a much better back stretch/squeeze workout from dumbell rows than barbell rows

>>38398405
symmetric stength:
"For the purposes of measuring on Symmetric Strength, when explosively pulling the weight up, you may use some hip extension to initiate the lift"

So basically you are doing a harder lift then they are measuring if you are doing them strict

>>38398405
Think two individuals with identical height, age, weight who both pull 180 kg conventional. The one has a 190 wingspan at 180 cm and the other one has 180 wingspan at that height. Symmetricstrength doesn't take proportions into account, so it will show identical muscular development and proficiency at the lift for both guys, although this is not the case irl.
Same with any lift, and rows as well.
Your rows are below average, your bench is above average. Obviously, your arms are short. Your DL looks high despite that, probably because you train rows, bench etc. for 5x5 but DL for 1x5. This means that you use less weight than your actual 5rm in the row calculation, which throws them off further. Also, what >>38398426 said.

Just curious, can you try to figure out my proportions:

>>38398564
Unless the DL or the Bench are way off (say >10%) it mostly has to do with program specificity. So you should look pretty normal. But there is a huge difference between your bench and OHP and your front squat and PC are kinda low.
Maybe this means that your forearms are relatively short (easy to get in OHP position assuming you touch clavicles every rep, but hard to rack). Or you're push pressing a bit. Or I'm just spewing bs and you are absolutely normal. Dunno.

>>38398666
No push press, but I do press off a clean. I also wait a second after my clean to press to make sure i dont do an accidental push press.. Deadlift is tested 1rm, bench is estimated, irl bench is probably more like 200. Front squat is probably accurate.

Power clean is more of a technique problem, I bring the bar too far forward at higher weights.

>>38398707
>>38398666
And your guess is semi right. Im exceptionally average height(5'9) at 165 lbs soaking wet

>>38398233
If you are having so much trouble with them why don't you switch to something like Yates rows?

>>38398717
I didn't say anything about your height, only proportions.

Anyway we're all gonna make it.

This is what I've been doing for push. We have similar stats but I'm doing 175 bench and 120 ohp

>>38399715
>175 bench
>5x5 on both main lifts, instead of alternating between 1x5 and 5x5
>no dips
>tri extensions on the x5 rep range
I can tell your heart is in the right place, but you should not really give advice yet.

That's a neat ass site. Is it popular among /fit/izens? I'm new here.
