tommorow i got workout B , should i do the pendlay rows or attempt the power cleans i dont know how to do cleans but i can learn on youtube , or shall i just stik with rows?

i read an article that said squatting 3 times a week is not good for the cns , does any disagree with this coz i know ripptoe will

It is probably hard on the CNS to squat heavy 3 times a week once your body reaches the "trained" stage. But in the beginning it's ok. Just eat.

yeah but whats the trained stage ?

yeah but whats the trained stage ?

he means once you stop getting newb gains

newb gains is when your new to lifting your body will respond to almost anything, the more experienced you get the more detailed you have to be with your training and constantly tweak it to learn what works best with your body.

I would do the pendlay rows instead of the powercleans

@ extra mile

im not new to lifting tho thats the thing, i know the ammount of weights that i lift aint extremly high but my body is use to weight lifting already for the last three years on and off.

so my question now is shall i continue with ripptoes or not?

Yeah agree on the rows over power cleans.

 

[LOU FERRIGNO JUNIOUR]

okay for the rows should have them raised higher on some plates like deadlifts or just have them on the ground coz im relatively new to this excercise ?

 

[zedhed]

Well, I do my lift off at about waist height and my bottom stops are the length of my arms. As you can guess I dont do pendalays, just a regular bent over row. But I do a pause at the bottom. I really dont think it matters that much, just so youre doing the bbl rowing motion AT THIS POINT. Dude you really dont need to be quite so specific for now. Remember you are going for mass. Get the mass first and then refine the definition.
I work on keeping my back parallel to the floor. Then on the last rep or 2, I might raise up to about 20° or so. You can vary this to hit diff areas of your back.
