Pendlay rows, Y/N?

Literally doesn't matter

Pendlay rows are phenomenal for back strength

Thanks anon.

They're fine, but I'd advise greater variety than just those two. For your horizontal I'd add dumbbell rows with an underhand grip for greater range of motion and lower lat development. That or one arm db rows to keep the strain off your back after the Pendlay rows. In addition to the range of motion, I like using dumbbell or one-arm variations (in addition to higher weight barbell exercises) to avoid imbalances in physique. If your form/recruitment is goofy you can wind up with some wack imbalance in your lats. For vertical you could add chin ups. I'd switch the pulldowns for pull ups, depending on if you have the strength to do them in a hypertrophy range. If not, use the pull ups to help work your way up to it. I do all three.

But that's just like my opinion man.

Pendlay Rows are great for hitting the whole back, but they're mainly there as a deadlift accessory

Is it OK to do pendlays on deadlift day?
Or should they be done away from deadlifts?

I might include some DB rows then, cheers!
Unfortunately I'm too weak to do pullups so, will stick to lat pulldowns in the mean time.

I'd advise you to do the deadlifts first if you do them on the same day. I always do deadlifts first because it's the mad mother of all compound lifts and I like to hit them fresh without anything being prefatigued. No reason to avoid doing them on the same day altogether. Just be sure to mind your form and don't be a hero. DLs can wreck your shit if you aren't careful. Additionally, bent over rows of any variety will recruit the lower back to some extent so don't bite off more than you can chew after the DLs when you go for the rows. In the end that will be your judgement call. If you're the OP who I presume is beginner-tier due to lack of pullup capacity, you may want to keep them separate at first.

One armed DB rows with some cheating are awesome. Lift it explosively up and lower it slowly. And since your using the legs to cheat a bit you get more overloading of the muscles. Its great for upper back and grip. ALso helps with obliques.

Does your gym have an assisted pull-up machine? If so use that to work in the hypertrophy range of pull-ups. I love lat pull downs but they take away a lot of core work and stabilizers that are included in pull-ups. Gl mate
