Nobody is gonna demonstrate a Romanian deadlift this way…they’re gonna use a ultralight weight with a perfectly straight back, huge range of motion, and probably a pause at the bottom..but let me tell ya, that’s pencilneck methodology. Horse huge loads just below the knee and the carryover is massive.

Barbell medicine does something similar. They use RDL's to supplement the deadlift, stopping just below the knees and repping out the top half of the deadlift. Speaking for myself, they're definitely useful.

Wow.. I’m in straight up awe.. 750 on RDL is NUTS! I’m recovering pencil neck. I recently hit a PR on RDLs at 200lbs for 3 sets of 1 negatives. I built up to doing my body weight over 3 years very strict. Then I did the 200lbs which is 1.25x my body weight. I think in another 3 years I can do 500 on RDLs.

Yeah it is easy to do perfect form with lightweights, but when you're pushing the limits of your body form breakdown can occur. A few short days ago I recently had a pr on the high handle trap bar deadlift and got 752 pounds which was a 20 lb PR from the 732 I did last time. The rep got a little ugly and I started to lose my grip but I got the weight! I want to be on team psycho pharma!

I would argue that your sets are way too large to mess with any huge weight. Sets of 12 while deadlifting are insane.

@SuperStruct Ай бұрын

The fact of the matter is we gotta get rid of these terms like "Romanian" or Jared style and find the intricate path between these lifts and really connect with the body as best as we can. If that means rack pull it to start and then descend into the depths of density, so be it brother. Bands skyrocketed my PRs in every lift because of the CNS shock. Easily drove myself to my max failure every single time because of the variable resistance.

Savage Sam coming in hot with a slick quick tip for shoulder girth, been doing a new training method where i strict press until i can't rep it anymore then i work up to top push press single, i take little weight off so i'm in the 5-6 rep range then blast that sucka up and then control the eccentric on the way down letting me overload the deltoids great mindset manipulation. Once I've hit them hard i drop back to slighty above where i was failing to rep and suddenly I can rep that sucka out 💯💥💣💪💪💪@Eric Bugenhagen, have you ever tried anything similar?
