- Thats because he goes real heavy on the deadlift and bent barbell rows
- before he gets to the pulldowns. Its obviously a finishing off exercise for him.
- Its really impressive to me that he can do heavy barbell rows AFTER doing
- heavy deadlifts. He must have a hell of a strong lower back. I could NEVER do
- barbell rows after deadlifts. Id have little energy and my lower back would
- be gone!
