2 questions...

do you wear those converses specifically for working out?

you're the only vid i could find who has elevated the bar's starting position. is this seen as being just a matter of preference?

thanks.

I wear converses for working out, yeah. Great for deadlifts and rows since they have a flat thin sole. You can squat in them as well, though I prefer some oly lifting shoes for squats.

Elevating the bar's starting position has more to do with mobility. If I were to do them from the floor I'd have trouble keeping my lower back arched. The goal is, of course, to be able to do them with your back parallel to the floor.

There's no "best" grip width as far as I know. I keep my pinkies on those lines.

I could lower it slowly if you want, I guess, but when I do them I try to focus on the concentric part and being explosive in retracting my shoulder blades and arching my upper back and not worrying so much about the eccentric.

Finally someone who knows what a Pendlay Row is. Great example.

Thanks for the vote of confidence!

What do you mean? Are you referring to the flexing and subsequent extension of the thorotical spine?

[wecndo]

it's impossible not to bend your upper back if you use a weight that will actually challenge yourself

I also elevate the barbell's starting position because I am not flexible enough to start off the floor. In time, I hope to switch, but at the moment, it gives me the ability to lift the weights safely.
