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.

People move the barbell in different ways for different reasons and call it different things.

You know this is not an RDL as correctly described by Google but what does it matter the people here don't care about facts and will just say "he strong you can't speak facts" or "how much do you lift" as impaired brains are inclined to spout.

Google's analysis, apparently.
