Bridge 2.0 - S-B2 Pendlay Rows

Training Q&A [Moderated]
1

Hi!

I’m on week two of the Bridge 2.0, really enjoying the program so far.

I was just curious about Pendlay rows as a supplemental bench exercise (S-B2). To my inexperienced lifters mind, I would have thought a supplemental bench exercise would be a pushing movement of some kind (close-grip bench etc.), rather than a row.

Could you explain how the Pendlay row helps the bench press?

Thanks! I’m curious to know as learning about this whole topic is very interesting.

Don’t overthink the labeling. Just needed to put it into an exercise slot.

Aha, I see. That makes sense!

Thanks.
