I remember when a "trainer" over on /fitness not only didn't know who Pendlay was or his row variation, but said that is was a bad exercise. I'm still shocked at this.
Anyways, haven't done this lift in years, quick set of 4 at 200lbs.

I somehow just put 25lbs on my front squat in a month. (granted I started very low)
e1rm a few weeks ago : 211lbs
e1rm today : 236.5lbs
PR today 165lbs x 13 (prev 10 reps). I probably had another 2 or 3 in me, but I was gassed.

Getting back into lifting again after a a bit of a break, so far have increased my 1 rep max on the benchpress by 15% in 8 weeks (estimated by reps)
16 sessions over 8 weeks, basically 1% a session
Def going to see diminishing returns but kinda cool
