Redpill me on RDLs. Pros and cons vs conventional?
>>76582607They're both great, alternate them
>>76582607I like single leg RDLs they hit my glutes so hard.
>>76582607Heard that they directly carry over to conventional deadlift, so i only do rdl's and nothing else
>>76582607Did RDLs yesterday for the first time. Amazing. Will be integrating them into my leg days.
>>76582607Rdls are what non-powershitters should be doing most of the time. Basically hits 80% of the relevant muscles while being half as exhausting. Also you can do them off a rack so it saves a lot of time too.RDLs are like half the weight of conventional deadlifts because you do them for 8-12 reps. So conventional deads are more fun from monke brain "haha heavy thing move" perspective. They also grow you upper traps decently which RDLs barely touch.
>>76582607They’re my favorite deadlift accessory, provided you do them correctly
>>76582607Don't bend your knees. Keep them as close to straight as possible and perform a strict hinge. Your ass should still move backwards as you flex the ankle
>>76582607Your ass will grow too much and gay guys will hit on you
>>76583227How is that not a stiff legged deadlift
>>76582607They're for faggots too pussy to do conventional deadliftsIt does let everyone around you know that you want to take cock up your ass though
>>76582898>RDLs are like half the weight of conventional deadliftsCan confirm, I did only RDLs for around 2 years then I deadlifted for three weeks and I got to 5 plates without much effort or a specific program (with terrible form but I didn't ACK). Normally I RDL 10Kg less than 4 plates whatever it is
>>76583326because you start from the top
>>76583227How can you possibly do this without destroying your lower back? wouldn't your center of gravity be like a foot in front of your knees?
>>76584018this is why you don't take advice from /fit/. It's impossible to do these properly without bending your knees slightly, just ignore him
>>76583227Excellent trollpost. Subtle.
>>76583227>>76584018>>76584026>>76584027Retards discover a jefferson curl
I do them and (attempt to do) Nordic curls because I can't go to a gym, so I don't have many good ways to work out my hamstrings.
>>76584145You have guts anon, I'd do any retarded lift before even thinking about attempting nordic curls
>>76584277Not saying it to discourage you from doing them btw, glad they're working for you I'm just a pus pus
>>76584277There aren't a lot of good knee flexion hamstring exercises that don't use machines. Dumbbell hamstring curls are too hard to set up and seem kind of unsafe.
>>76584018The weight keeps you from falling over dumdum, it stays over mid foot if you're doing it right. Obviously you don't have your knees locked out 100%, but you just keep pushing your butt back further. There's people doing snatch grip rdl to right above the floor, sounds like a skill issue for you
>>76582607Wtf are you talking about, you posted an image of a regular deadlift
>>76583227Retard-tier advice for getting hurt. Kill anyone with this opinion. Stiff-legged deadlift is superior, anyhow. Hits hamstrings better than anything else and also hits glutes and lower back decently enough.
