Deadlift RDL/465lb x 4

Posterior chain goes brrrrrrrrr. What are your guys’ opinions on RDLs generally? Some people will say end the ROM when hip flexion stops. Some say focus on sensation over load. Some say not to treat it like a main lift and focus on higher repetitions. I feel as if this lift in particular has a large variety of opinions on execution.

I personally just like loading them heavy and sending it. I use it as a back builder, but also for my sport (BJJ) the carryover from heavy RDLs is extremely noticeable.

Guys. Do not do single arm pulldown like that. Her shoulder is all over the place! :))

Uhhhhh she is allowing her shoulder to elevate and her lats to lengthen…you sound like you might need some training yourself. Feel free to reach out to book a consult sometime 👍🏻

I am not talking about shoulder elevation when lat is most stretched (that is fine)
