    Day 3 done.... Think I need to watch the barbell row video again. I didn't hurt myself but I don't think it felt the same this time. Still all good though!!

    Also in the morning I've been mixing my Greek yogurt with the cottage cheese... Actually quite tasty and gives me that protein... :)

    Are you doing Pendlay rows or regular barbell?

    Pendlay row:

    Bodybuilding style barbell row:

    If you're doing the second one, I'd recommend switching to the first.

    If you're already doing pendlay rows, try to make sure that your back is pretty much parallel to the floor. You're going to have to sit your barbell up on a stack of plates so that it's the right height, which is way I hate this exercise with the burning of a thousand suns. :wink:

    Usually for me I do a stack of 45s on the bottom, then 35s, then 25s, and that's the right height. Should be about 9 inches off the floor.
