    Any tips on programming so I dont get so insanely sore? I love these but I go hard and do like 3 sets of 8-10 to near failure (with straps so its not grip failure) and my legs are then dead for the entire week. Not sure if I should be going less close to failure, doing smaller sets, etc.

      First tell them to NOT look out in front of their body as they hinge forward, but rather tilt the chin down to keep the head inline with the spine. If the chest is facing the floor, your face should be also. You want a straight line from the top of your head to your tailbone. Blows my mind how many professionals get this move right from the waist down, but wrong above the shoulders.

      @@carastone3473actually there’s no reason to keep the head looking down and the cervical spine aligned with the thoracic spine. as long the cervical spine not in a forced extension you can look forward if the helps you cue the lumbar spine to stay extended. People tend to demonize extended neck while deadlifting while as long as there’s no over pressure on the backside of the spine (facet joints) and there no compression forces on it either, that’s pretty much safe.

    These are very very good tips. I was really struggling with doing RDLs with any significant weight because of the two limiting factors. I struggle with conventional deadlifting due to posture problems so lifting the weight from a rack helps a lot. And with straps it really helps you lock in without slipping with your fingers! My Rdl went from 60kg to 95 with good teknique in just 3 months

  • @TehRealChruZ
    @TehRealChruZ Год назад +3

    Nice! The only thing that I would change is not going from the rack, but just from the floor. I find that lifting the bar from the rack and having to step back with it in my hands is more fatiguing than just deadlifting it from the floor/starting the RDL from the floor. But that's probably just personal preference!
