Where do you lie on Jim Wendler's standards for Croc Rows?

They seem really harsh to me. You neeed to be able to do the following amount of Dumbbell reps:

Beginner 1/2bodyweightx20
Intermediate 1/2bodyweightx35
Advanced 1/2bodyweightx50

If Jim Wendler says so, he's probably right.

You can never have too much back strength.

Is that total weight of both dumbbells? Like, if you’re two hundo you’d use a set of 50lbs’ers to accomplish this?

It says it's per arm, but that would explain the high number. What beginner can DB row half his bodyweight?

Remember tho that this standard is more for powerlifters than for average gym goers.

Croc rows are done with one arm, so no, it would be a single 100lb DB.

The beginner standard is fking retarded. The average American weighs 200lbs, you think the average guy on the street is gonna walk in and 20-rep 100’s? Insanity.

The rest of them are pretty reasonable though
*Deadlifts pants after taking a chit crew*
*Typos can go fucl themselves crew*
*Nice miscer crew*
*Loves reps, hates negs crew*
*Faps before workout crew*
*12+ hours of sleep crew*
*Faps during workout crew*
*Hates onions crew*
*Faps after workout crew*
*No fap crew*

I assume he's talking about beginners to kroc rows, and not beginner lifters.

A beginner has no business even doing a kroc row, there's way too much room for injury when you tell someone who has little experience lifting to jerk around excessive weight.
Not saying it's a bad lift, but it's not something beginners should be doing in the first place.
