I was going through my usual routine at the gym today when, towards the end of my workout, a guy approached me and warned me about slamming the weight down on the hard surface while barbell rowing, as it would 'splatter my brains'. (I usually lift on the hard surface rather than the padded area, so that I can see myself from the side and make sure my back is straight).

I'm now wondering if the impact shock when slamming weights down during deadlifts/rows/etc can actually harm the brain at all? This has never struck me before, so it's making me kinda paranoid now. If anyone knows any studies on the subject, that would be fantastic

why do you think they're called meat heads?

Why are you slamming the weight on rows? Thats not right at all unless you mean dropping it the last rep.

Also yes you can get brain damage. You drop the barbell on your head during an ohp and yeah brain damage can happen.

Short answer no.
Your brain is tightly adhered to your skull by a covering known as the Dura, this dura ensures minimal movement during the hustles and bustles of moving around.
However if you're old enough (Brain shrinks) or you apply enough force i.e. high speed car accident, punch or fall, then you can get it to move around.

I'm doing pendlay style rows right now, which means straight up from the ground each rep

I've always kept the weight off the ground had no idea people rested after every rep seems kind of cheating yourself out of gains to me.

Your brain absolutely always moves around. Always. There is nothing to insure "minimal movement", your brain is *supposed* to move, it could not function if it was static in space. This is why your brain is literally floating in cerebrospinal fluid.

Anyway, back to OP.

>guys is it true??

why do you come here? I'm getting so sick of this site being full of just outright stupid people

Move around in a very loose sense, the cranial cavity is cramped as it is in a adult brain and the double reflections of the dura with its folds ensure very minimal movement.

Should not unless you somehow subject your brain to a high enough acceleration. Practically it should not happen unless you drop it on your head
