Bent over row - Barbell, supinated grip, pull to abdominals

In 2000 (and on a few other occasions) I published and claimed copyright on this exercise description (bolding added now):

Supinated grip – Bent-over-row : (pull to the abdominals)

Grab bar with an underhand grip just outside shoulder width. Bend forward to 90 degrees of trunk flexion. Pull the bar to the abdominals, pause and return to the stretched position.

Supinated grip – Bent-over-row : (pull to the abdominals)

Grab bar with an underhand grip just outside shoulder width. Bend forward to 90 degrees of trunk flexion. Pull the bar to the abdominals, pause and return to the stretched position.

And I came upon this description another two more times by the same 'author' in different publications.

I noted that the use of this description was in the absence of credits or references to the origin or permission to use from the original author (myself), and that the 'author' claimed copyright....
