I've heard that deadlifts are prone to causing injuries. Do RDLs have similar risks, or are they generally safer?
>>74616876all excercises with "dead" in the name are done exclusively by DYELS>deadlifts>deadhangs>deadsquats>deadcurls>deadjumps>dead extensionsjust do normal person excercises
>>74616886I noticed that RDLs hit every weak spot I had. Sure I'm a DYEL but I'm trying to build strength.
>>74616876One day I was doing RDLs or stiff legged, don't remember anymore, and I didn't exactly tweak anything, I just felt that the stretch in the hamstring all of a sudden wouldnt set in where expected anymore. Should have stopped one rep before that. Sure finishef the set and maybe few more. Intense back pain for months after that. Really bad. Now there's a weird click left when doing certain movements. Also a weird 'painfull' sensation at the limit of back extension. No idea what else is fucked.Wouldn't recommend.
>>74616876rdl is a high rep (8+) exercise. deadlifts typically are for fatties maxing out. yes, they are safer.
>>74616912>>74616876If you deadlift even one time it stays in your spinal fluid and years later you can be stuck grunting. I knew a guy who deadlifted once in the 80s and he still thinks he's a glass of preworkout
>>74616876Higher reps, more sets, less weight. RDLs are vastly safer than conventional deads. That being said, form above all else, and if you do either exercise they should both be safe as long as your form is on point.
>>74616876It's pretty much impossible to injure yourself on a RDL unless you try doing your max deadlift on it, then it will simply drop on the floor and snap your shit.It's the single best exercise ever invented and trains everything squats and deadlifts train but with 0% injury risk.
Deadlift who?
>deadlift variants aren't deadliftsGod I hate /fit/ sometimes. You guys are fucking brain dead.
>>74616886Deadhangs are actually amazing for helping shoulder impingement. I always do them at the end of my push days for preventative measure.
>>74617182Wouldn't call it the best ever (that would be the squat) but it's a great one with massive functional strength benefits.An easy way to spot a dyel is they talk about deadlifting injuries. I don't know a single person that has ever been hurt by the deadlift. Nor have I read about a power lifting athlete who has. I've failed plenty of max outs. I once got a bloody nose just like the webm. Never once injured. The real answer is deadlifts and squats are the most physically exhausting weight lifts. People have a psychological block because of how exerting they are. So they make a million excuses why you shouldn't do them.
>>74617450I don't have the equipment to do that.
