>one ticket to snap city please!
Yup. I think people only like it because of how 'cool' it looks. It's uncomfortable as fuck and if you do too much you'll get a bursa. You can't do anywhere near the volume you can with a ham curl machine. Normally I'd say fuck machines but in this case it's the exact same movement, just in a less safe way.
>>76919982>Sir, I've found a shorter way!
>>76920010I actually haven't seen much of that going to snap city. But it's not like it'd be a good thing.

>This is one reason why athletes with advanced cardio vascular abilities tend to live longest.nord dicks? no - what reason bot ?git gastroc, i managed to isolate it somewhat:>>76920294it's good for me it's good for errybody, it's your second heart they say >>76920010no bot, not like this - don't pinch yo scaps together on nerves and other soft shit , like andrew tate: >>76919430>>>76900295 >>>76909351
literally never heard of anyone getting injured doing these it's basically a ham curl
>>76920010it looks bad but its more of a tweak city exercise rather than snap city
>>76920842Is it the same though? I've tried Nordics b4, super hard, and could only do a few negatives.Also seated leg curl feels like it does nothing compared to a the lying one
>>76919982>fixes your back
>>76920842Same. It's on the contrary. Athletes are being told to do nordic curls to prevent knee injuries. There are even studies with provided statistics how this single exercise prevent the most common knee injuries.
>>76920886Nordic ham curls engages posterior chain more so if anything it would be less injurious and in fact there are studies indicating its superiority in preventing ham injuries as >>76920912 statedhttps://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11311354/
>>76920010I do these on the smith machine seated. Are they that bad?
>>76920940No they're better.>>76920916This is bs. The paper does not prove Nordic curls are safer than machine hamstring curls. Try harder and maybe next time actually read the study AI spoonfeeds you dipshit.>It doesn’t directly compare Nordics vs machine curls.>It measures sport injury rates, not exercise safety or adverse events.>Many results come from multi-exercise programs, so benefits can’t be attributed to Nordics alone.>Most underlying reviews are low quality with high heterogeneity.>Adverse effects and tolerability are inconsistently reported.>Findings are population-specific (mostly male soccer players) and not generalizable.>“Machine curls” aren’t clearly defined or dose-matched.Nordic curls are not in any way superior to regular machine ham curls and carry the added risk of bursa.
>>76920978Given that leg curls are in nearly every athletes routine, a 51% reduction in ham injuries from those doing nhc is crazy. Nordic curls shit on everything including deadlift and it's not even close
>Economy is fine, thank you!
>>76920983>zero reading comprehensions>zero research methods comprehensionSo sorry to burst your science trust bubble but the study you cited is in fact of dog shit quality and does not in fact prove thats from NHC.
This post is proudly sponsored by the Anti-Deadlift Association™
>>76920990no it proves nearly every single study ever made looking at nhc vs anything proves it's superiority and nothing else. fewer ham injuries, greater biceps femoris activation and superior athletic performance
>>76921001No.
>>76920997there was actually a study done on deadlifts where the subjects spine literally snapped during the study it's the only recorded instance in history not because of rarity but because such things just don't happen in studies. deadlift is the only exercise clinically proven to destroy your spine
>>76921006they literally excluded 100s of studies that show nhc superior and the remaining all show the same supr you're a delusional cuck
>>76920997did he died
>>76921007>things that never happened
>>76921009They literally couldn't even isolate for it it proved fucking nothing. They were doing NHCs in addition to other hamstring exercises. Also all participants had the same background. How many male soccer players are going to see any fucking benefit from this shit in the face of every other preventative measure they use?! You can't possibly know that, not from that reviews conclusions. It's dog shit & you're retarded.
>have seen dozens of nordic curls end in snap city>have not once seen a ham curl machine take a person to snap cityIt's genuinely impressive that I've never seen that posted here but I've seen many NHCs end in hospital visits. Makes you think.
>>76920010>tell me you have shit flexibility without telling me you have shit flexibility
>>76921018Yes it did happen and is documented here>Cholewicki J, McGill SM (1992) “Lumbar Posterior Ligament Involvement During Extremely Heavy Lifts Estimated from Fluoroscopic Measurements” Journal of Biomechanics 25(1):17–28.>>76921034you're a turd dude>durrr every study showing benefits to nhc with with nhc being the ONLY common variable. b-b-but it's something else!>>76921042just gonna start making shit up now are we
>Cholewicki and McGill caught real-time x-ray footage of a powerlifter’s spine buckling under load. The video demonstrated for the first time that a single joint could fail and lead to pain. To quote the study, the authors were interested in assessing the “ligament and disc contribution in resisting trunk flexion moment during extremely heavy lifts performed by national class powerlifters.” The lift in this case was the conventional deadlift.
>>76921131>just gonna start making shit up now are weShow me the clip of someones hammy getting snapped in a leg curl machine. I ain't ever seen it.>>76921173Alright, i concede this is true.
>>76920997Dat shearRetards will advocate for diddies as if it were the same as curling. No, there are massive risks involved, not only of catastrophic failure but of progressive disc degenerationPutting your long term back health at risk because of ego and stubbornness reminds me of how stupid people can be.
>>76921201I didn't say leg curls cause injuries nhc is simply superior in every way. Leg curls are great if you like them keep doing them
>>76920940Nah once I got to about 135lbs I started doing them seated on a smith machine.
>>76921204If you're going to break your spine lifting baby weight you were never gonna make it.
>>76921260same thing happened to world class powerlifters lifting mid weight "heavy" deadlifts
>>76920842They do the opposite. They protect your from injury. If you're so fat that your hamstrings rupture when you use them to pull up your bodyweight, you have bigger problems.
>>76920010This looks like tear city: the lift. What benefit could you possibly be trying to derive from this by putting yourself into such a precarious position?
>>76921260Dumb meathead, you can't read, so I'll explain it to you again: injuries don't have to be because of a single catastrophic event with elephant weight, disc degeneration can be accelerated and accumulated over a longer period of time with less weight
>>76921204This is why I stopped doing deadlifts. Contemplating stopping squats as well for the same reason but haven't found a good alternative. My gym doesn't have a sled to push or pull, however I have heard monster walk backwards uphill can be a good alternative.
>>76920986Yeah this one is terrifying
>>76921324>muh discsIt's always something with you cry asses. Cope privately
I sometimes forget that the average person on this board is 40 and doesn't lift
>>76921896>No argumentGet rekt kid
>>76921906don't forget brown and obese
>>76920010I used to do klovkov press (standing, super wide grip). I thought they were helpful. Never went higher than 115lbs though

>>76921311lol
>>76922589Why do people ego lift like this. Thought he was going to fuck his shit up any second
>>76921967You people just won't stop trying to justify being weak. You've convinced yourself that the delicate jelly filled back cannot even lift your body weight repeatedly. You're correct. You will always be weak.
>>76922916Ego.
>>76922999>justify being weak.I'm not though, you're operating from a false premise, which is that you can only get strong from DLing, which is wrongDiddlers are part of a cult, though, they'll never admit their exercise is unnessarily dangerous. You can grind your discs away if you want to, but don't spread misinformation to newbies

>>76922916I think you don't know what ego lifting means because that was an incredibly well-executed lift.Lifting heavy is NOT ego lifting.
Inverse Nordic curls are the best, bot.

>>76924753I quoted elitefts here >>76921173 who reviewed the study where my comment came from
>>76924880>didn't read the primary researchlol
>>76924903yes I did and so did elitefts who apparently did a better job than you because there was a video corresponding to the paper where the deadlifters spine buckled literally during a study
>>76924910oh my bad I didn't realize there was a video in the 1992 scanned pdf
>>76924744cute onions bot >>76920294>i took the one ticket to gastrocnemius and never looked back:>but it's not da knee anymoar hooman, i changed the topic to lower back tee hee :)) no it's totally not moving goalposts that's psoas, so psoas is responsible for "stability" in lower back, meaning u can keep lower back arched if you cramp the fuck out of psoas in the end of it's range of motion in spine cramped muscle gets injured cause it's uncontrolled spasm (almost anyone had calf cramp at some point), injured muscle gets weak and tightens defending itself - presto pronto your posture is fucked and now u are glass-back, tying shoes becomes ordeal, life in general becomes shit cause u just ruined the very center of your body, very essence of your being has been assaulted, seemingly irreparably damaged, everything from moving through digestion, breathing and psychological health is negatively impacted, psoas is directly connected to diaphragm, to bowels which contain your second brain (supposedly akin to insect ganglia), you can't sleep, can't shit u can't anything joe aesthetic (rest in piss) ripped his biceps like this off bone - just flexing onto nothing posing (u can try it out just be careful) - he had this weird biceps flex where he locked it out at the end of elbow joint flexion without flexing triceps and stopping before biceps bottoms out it's ability to flex - that's what u do with these retarded "lifting" where back is arched and proper function and health of psoas is here: >>76919452>i luve psoas too bot>i came up with a drill that makes it feel good, yes do this for immediate relief:>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bqPkuJK1j8 [Embed]>then get up and stand and reach with one hand in front of you as far as u can squatting leaning on 2 legs, reach to the same spot with other arm, and do it in dozen spots around you>the same spot on the floor - git low :Dstart with the straight ahead
>>76924921There was a VHS tape actually. The only interesting part is that elitefts tries to defend deadlifting and adds their own original research to the paper by stating it was because the deadlifters was distracted and then makes false claims about McGill agreeing with them. he never did
>>76924930bro just say you didn't read the paper
>>76924929>start with the straight aheadno, do not rotate hips externally, to drop trunk between legs, keep your hips up and reach as far forward as you can, then reach with other hand to the same spot (u can use a prop)this is the real healthy physiological psoas function, this makes it strong and happy which in turn makes it not tight and ALL of your life becomes infinately better in an instant - that's what happened to me and that is what will happen to you if u stop overarching lower back with: squat, bench, deadlift, ohp, hyperextensions, lunges, BSS, lat pulldowns, biceps, triceps work, rows, delt work, planks, dragon flag - it's everywhere u're flexing it and cramping like and retard all the fucking time, think about it, be cognizant of it, u will notice it everywhere all the time >>76924937>>76924930blah blah bot
>>76924937You have no clue what they were researching my guy. The purpose of the study was to push the muscles to the point where they would no longer be supporting the lift, relying on the ligaments. And instead of that happening with subject 2, ie measuring ligament stressors, his l4/l5 buckled. The thing you quoted was trying to make sense of his spine buckling because the ligament was not significantly stressed. They theorized a momentary loss of muscle control explain the spinal joint failure.
>>76924948>The thing you quoted was trying to make sense of his spine buckling because the ligament was not significantly stressed.

Lets look at the methods:>Subjects were asked to perform three tasks, each of approximately 6 s duration, while a lateral radiologic view of their lumbar spines was recorded with the videofluoroscope. >The first task was to bend forward and fully flex the trunk, until myoelectric silence was achieved in the lower and upper erector spinae muscles >Next, two near-maximum deadlifts were performed. The standard competition deadlift technique was employed, where the barbell starting at rest on the floor was raised in one continuous motion until the erect posture was reached by the lifternot seeing the "push muscles to the limit" part of the design
>>76924961They did deadlift close to 1rm for the sole purpose of measuring ligament contribution. It's implied. At this point you're being pedantic. This became a famous study for the sole reason a nation class deadlifters snapped their snipe literally in the middle of a study. You can reword that in whichever way makes you feel better about yourself. Bye bye
>>76924968he "snapped his spine" but was apparently fine for his second deadlift at the same weight and was completed with no issue
>>76924973Yeah when you blow your back you sometimes don't feel the effects until the next day. I've completely destroyed my spine and spent the entire day doing floor pulls. The pain from spinal injuries are usually not even close acute.
>>76924952>>76924961
>>76924976great anecdote, where was that reported in the study
>>76924979It was reported that his spine buckled right in the middle of the study. And the fact he deadlifted afterwards is not an anecdote nor refutation that his spine was injured during the study in fact you just proved my point even further. Acute severe >>76924978pain to deadlift injury is not a given.
>>76924983>refutation that his spine was injuredlol>>76924937they clearly state the degree of elongation is well below ligament limit, also >Shearing translations of the (vertebral) disc were not detected in the present study.>Compressive translations of the disc were not measurable in this study either.
>>76924988What you're quoting is equipment failure due to positioning. There's no argument against the spinal injury occuring.
>>76924991>it may produce momentary discomfort.definite perma injury, I bet he was in a wheelchair for the rest of his life
>>76924993Ah so pain doesn't count unless it turns you into a cripple? We don't know how fucked this guy's spine became afterwards but I'd pass on having my l4/l5 bent out of position under a deadlift 1rm
>>76925000>some discomfort>brieflol which btw had nothing to do with the lift but from the radiologist telling the subject to lift from a position he wasn't used to
>>76925007Yeah once again like I said deadlift injuries to the spine usually result in a dull pain at first and in fact you can usually deadlift again and again shortly after. The pain radiates hours after and depending on how severe it could be debilitating. I'd describe deadlift spinal injuries as being more inhibiting to physical function than anything I've experienced in my life. And in no case was the pain immediate.
>>76925023>meanwhilehow do stu's balls taste
>>76925038I'm not impressed by how much you can bend over tbqh it's a gay exercise made for queers
>>76924744>>76925038I've seen cartel videos that made me less squeamish than these did
>>76925038all true, trust the science™
>>76924976Why do you care so much that litteraly one (1) guys supposedly hurt his back doing deadlifts? Theres probably a dozen guys right now getting a heirniated disc from picking up a remote control in this exact moment. Youre going to tell us not just never bend again in our entire lives to avoid that?
>>76925667Because shitheads like you keep claiming deadlift is a safe and healthy exercise. It is not and you're retarded. A large portion of the population do not have spinal discs capable of deadlifting several hundred pounds safely and never will because spinal disc shape and function is genetically predetermined. Theres no reason to deadlift whatsoever either. There are zero useful activities in life that necessitate deadlifting several hundred pounds and there never will be.
>>76919982Trump files $5bn defamation lawsuit
>>76926435lol backlet
>>76927996using momentum to rock the...rock onto his leg is a smart technique to avoid using your back. but that's not a deadlift by any definition nor is it particularly useful unless you plan on lifting 400lb rocks manually. I could probably lift a 300lb stone that way untrained.
>>76920997I am so scared of squats and deadlifts. When I was just starting in the gym I tried them because "you're supposed to", and I used really small weights, but I could feel in my lower back that this was going to be bad. Of course I had shit form because I was a beginner, but I technically still am since I dropped those exercises completely at this point and never came back.Fuck that shit, I don't care if I'm slowing down my progress, I'm not taking that risk. You can work on everything with isolation exercises anyway
>>76928997>>76928997The whole idea of absolute beginners starting with loaded barbell back squats is complete insanity pushed by retards.Theres no point doing an exercise with poor form and ingraining a poor movement pattern. When you actually have the muscles developed to do the proper form, thats when it actually makes sense to start doing.An absolute complete beginner shouldn't go near a barbell squat or deadlift unless under personal qualified training. The real beginner route is to do a lot of belt squats, getting the form perfected. Lot of single leg work to balance out the left and right legs and build up flexibility in the hip flexor. Lot of posterior chain isolation work (glute, hamstring),. And a TON of bracing, core work, and upper back work. For 6 months to a year depending on the lifter.There is literally ZERO point for a beginner to do barbell squats or deadlits without a wide base built up that has addressed the common problem areas. The same applies to bench. Zero point in doing barbell bench if your back and arms are weak.
You just have to practice to do nordic curls and no one likes to practice to be able to do anything in the gym. They just expect to be able to do something within two weeks and start looking for alternatives if they can't. Its surprisingly hard to find video footage of people doing multiple nordic curls in a row for what is a fairly commonly talked about and studied exercise. Most people just do partials or negatives and pretend like they did a curl. If people tried to pass off doing bicep curls like most people do nordic curls, everyone would laugh at them. For what its worth, for pure hamstring, I like doing sliders except with rings instead of a furniture mover. Nordics feel more like glute/ham and calves to me. I do both multiple times a week just to be safe.
>>76926435If you actually lifted you would understand the most dangerous lift is squats. I only met 1 person who got injured doing deadlifts, i've met countless people who fucked up on squats
>>76928997Its not that common, its only when you decide to be a retard and do any lift is when you get seriously injured. Don't listen to the dyel who always talks about form. There are literal kids in middle school gyms who go harder than the dyels who cry about bad form
>>76929114There is literally ZERO point in you giving any advice. You definitely don't lift
>>76929125the internet is filled with people who absolutely cucked their back with deadlifts people with zero prior injury history. idgaf about squats
>>76929171Like who? You? I seriously have never heard anyone fuckin up on deadlifts here. Ive even heard someone fucking up their upper back picking up a dumbbell off the floor while sitting on a bench but never a deadlift injury.But good job outting yourself as a dyel that never goes to the gym
>>76929171god forbid you go outside and get injured
>>76929282My mind is boggled that people like you exist who are incapable of doing research.

And that's only a small sample of what you'll find if you bothered to look into it at all.>>76929294You're an idiot. I spent my entire youth playing sports and my entire adulthood performing manual labor and working out.

>deadlift are good>heavy deadlift are badGot it.
>>76929552the value of deadlift comes entirely from being able to move inoordinate amounts of weight from the deadlift position. without doing so you're not performing anything you do outside the ordinary and this not benefitting to any appreciable degree.
>>76929561You get plenty of benefits from doing 3-5 plates. That shouldn't be considered a crazy amount of weight unless you're a woman.>>76929541>Extreme 0.01% athlete destroys their body pushing the limits of human capabilities>THIS COULD BE YOU!!I'm not too worried about it nerd thanks for the confidence boost though.
>>76929667if you're repping out 3-5 plates it's too light and no benefit if you're not it's too heavy. nothing you lift in life weighs 300+ lbs you can't claim humans are adapted to lifting such weight at no point in the history of the human race did any people's bend over and deadlift 300+ lbs it's a completely retarded egolift with a high degree of possibility to blow your back out. there's no reason to train this position heavy whatsoever
>>76929797>300lbs is too light>300lbs is too heavy
>>76929928Yeah? That's because there's no reason to deadlift whatsoever you shit eating faggot. You're searching for some reason to make deadlifting valuable and there is none. Back strength is built better with upper body lifts like rows which can be performed safely on a machine and legs are built better by common physical activity like hiking and if you want to be captain bozo head do some rucking. There's no situation where deadlifting is of any value. If you're strong enough to row, pull up, hike then you're strong enough to lift any common object. Deadlifting is a pointless ego lift period

>>76933730I started doing one set a day it has been nothing but a benefit. Hits the posterior chain nicely without snapping your spine and works the fuck out of hams. GOAT exercises always come from calisthenics. Dips, pull ups, ham curls, etc.
