Anyone familiar with Berend Breitenstein? How about his book


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

This guy's stuff looks interesting. Anyone know where he is from? He just published his first book in English and wondering if worth it.

I see he is a competitive pro. I had some questions about his form in some of these videos however! I always read the best way to perform a bent row is with your back fairly parallel to the floor. Here he is almost standing up straight at times.

I also notice he uses a weight lifting belt? I have read quite a few times we should not be using a weight belt because it can create a weakness in the lower back, instead we are best to strengthen the low back rather than rely on a belt?!

 

In this video he is arching his back pretty bad toward the end of his set. I try to never arch my back and isn;t this bad form?

 

However, I can't argue with his physique.
