Can I just do cable rows instead of switching to a pendlay row? I dont like the traditional bb row i heard pendlays are good but i like the cable row.

If my true goal is muscle gain i plan to do cable rows twice a week and weighted pull ups once a week. i still squat but i dont deadlift or bent over row cause it causes my back to hurt... instead i replaced deadlifts with hipthrusters. will this work?

Well.. not really. If you are a beginner and are trying to maximize your muscle building you need to learn thes movements. Sounds like to me that if your back hurts it is because you do not know how to sit properly between your legs as you bend over. all the weight should rest on your hips, not lower back

 

Can you upload a video of your FORM to YOUTUBE and then insert the video here?

The entire purpose of a pendlay row is to maximize the overload on your back with each rep. Thats why you go to a dead stop each time. You have to use explosive power to perform the movement. Remember that to build muscle, volume is great, but volume AND overloading is key!
