Pendlay row:
Rest as needed between sets. If sets at chosen weight require interruption make as minor an adjustment as needed and continue. When scheme is listed as “10 x 3″, it always refers to “Sets” x “Reps”. Reminder: Position and range of motion always govern weight.
Then:
Use warm-up sets of no more than 5 reps before adjusting height. Rest as needed, step down as desired, and keep total number of jumps under 25 (Ex. 5, 5, 3, 3, 1, 1, 1, 1… ). If jumping down, be mindful of both landing position and receipt of the floor- conserve energy by moving efficiently.
And then:
Stay tall, tight, and organized. If rest is needed, keep it to 3-5 breaths (approx. :15 sec.). If posture breaks beyond repair, place a dowel in the back rack to return it to form. 20 yd. = approx. 30 lunge
And finally, “Time under tension”:
Work to “True” failure (loss of physical positioning) not “Relative” failure (loss of mental endurance). If time reaches two minutes, you may stop if desired. If time is under two minutes, do it again, and accumulate at least two total minutes.
