Thanks for the motivating words on the blog. Reading these kind of posts keeps me going.
Back to the pendlay row:
-i'll be posting an exercise to increase flexiblity in the upperback next monday, video included of course
-really focus on the technique, if necessary lower the weight until...
I hope you were the only one to misunderstand what I wrote. I certainly do not mean that eccentrics are not important. They are.
It's simply not possible to focus on the eccentric on the Pendlay Row because of the nature of the lift. Compare it with a Power Clean.
Thanks for the kind...
mrRuckus,
I was doing a similar thing to you before switching to the Anabolic Diet. Only carbs post/post post workout, about 100g a day.
I haven't been through a metabolic shift, however you're certainly less carb dependent that someone who gets 500g carbs a day. Shifting to the AD will...
Good post as always A-Unit.
1) There's definitely a psychological adaptation needed. We all have a fear of fat. Thank the matrix for that.
2) Carbs craving. Why isn't there something like "fat craving"? Or "Protein craving"?
It's when you get low carb that you start to know...
You're right about the wrist mrRuckus.
There's a difference between letting the bar roll into your fingers & relaxing the wrists vs. bar close to the wrist/contracting wrist/forearm.
It's impossible to keep the wrist straight on the Overhead Press. However the trainee should imagine...
I'm on the diet yes. I've been on it for more than a year now. I was already eating relatively low carb before this, with heavy carb ups in the weekend (as you say, a pain to avoid them everywhere you go). Then I cam accross the Anabolic Diet, gave it a try, it rocks imo.
1) Insuline...
I agree, pressing the weight overhead is much more fun. More challenging, more demanding, more muscles used. And it just feel great holding weight overhead.
They are very bad ass and in my opinion much more glamorous than the Bench Press. Check this video of Serge Redding (from Belgium too...
You shouldn't care about the eccentric phase. Get the weight up as fast as you can, that's it.
Eccentric work has it's place, but not on exercises like rowing. Fast & explosive on the way up, that's the goal.
First, thanks for visiting my blog ;-)
I'm an Overhead Press freak. Glad to hear there are other people who are motivated to work on their overhead strength.
Back to your question.
Your Back
From your description, there are two things that might go wrong:
-You're arching your lower...
Thanks for the motivating words Kickureface.
Difference with the bent-over barbell row:
-upperback is bent when the bar is on the floor
-upperback is arched when pulling the bar to the chest
-complete deload of the weight on the floor
Pendlay Rows are much more explosive. The...
Here's an article with video of the Pendlay Row.
The Pendlay Row is an advanced version of the Bent-over Barbell Row. Much more effective & much more powerful.
Check out the article & try it some time:

Comments appreciated.
This foods can cause food allergies (including acne):
* dairy
* eggs
* corn
* soy
* wheat
* seafood
It all depends on the person. When I eat a lot of cottage cheese I get acne on my chest. However Emmental doesn't give me acne. Go figure.
Glycogen. Any high intensity activity needs glycogen. No glycogen == no energy when doing high intensity activity (strength training, sprints,...)
The more volume you're doing, the higher the need for glycogen & thus sugar.
Even no carbs diets (like the Anabolic Diet) use carbs loading...
Kidney stones can be made of calcium. But as always, dietary calcium has no influence on calcium in your kidney's.
Compare the dietary cholesterol - blood cholesterol myth.
An accupuncturist/chinese medecine specialist told me not so long ago that too much protein was bad for the kidney's. (he gives good advice btw)
I answered him that I needed protein for weight lifting recovery.
His answer was that he understood my situation & that I had to choose the pros...
