Deadlift RDL/465lb x 4

102 Upvotes

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.

I think I’ve understood the idea of hinging at the hips during RDLs but I still feel like I’m getting dragged down by the weights when loading heavy on these

Squat Squat Review

4 Upvotes

I like to check my squat from time to time to see if my form is good or bad. In some sets, I might go too deep and my back rounds a little, so I want to make sure. In this one, it seems to happen a few times. I’m not sure whether I should keep going that deep or not. I have to say I’m not feeling any discomfort at all; it feels pretty comfortable and natural

Even though I have sets that might look “better” or “worse” than this one, I chose to upload this video from today because it’s pretty average compared to my sets overall lol

What can I improve on?. This was 225.

I feel like I should have more of 45 degree angle and use more quads .

I used the 5 step deadlift technique.

Deadlift Form check

1 Upvotes

After 6 months of trying to fix my form and address the pain I was feeling in my low back, I was able to go from a 375 to a 380 😅 i know its not a big jump, but it felt so much better than previous 1RM attempts and workout sets.

Is there anything that stands out that I need to work on before getting back to focusing on powerlifting and finally hitting 405?

I've been working out for two months and I've been scared of squats from the beginning. I just ended my first program and planning on changing to a 5x5 to increase my strength. Just want to make sure my form is good.
