The RDL with Mark Rippetoe 

Tomi Oni mine does

he doesnt know much at all tbh

yea okay

I'm working on it now. Just bought the book.

Ikr, dude used the word apocryphal correctly.

perfect

Sean Connery voice

And black

Is molasses really that authoritative?

@@jonnyrockets526 rum

Exactly way I learned the movement with no weight was to measure your foot out to a wall and try touch the wall with your ass on each rep .

i want one

It has sadly the KG is now greater than the IB :')

Romania isn't an EU Member. You and a lot of people make this same mistake. Bonus => Bulgaria isn't am EU member either.

***** I just checked and you seem to be right. The little buggers snuck in without me noticing. Thanks for the heads up.

***** That's actually cool. It's good to see one country is benefiting from being in the EU.

brilliant

THANK YOU

actually he really talks very informative stuff until then, apart from most youtubers presenting their fuckin dogs or their merch before starting an exercise

Bless your soul

For those just wanting to hear and not actually listen, yes, skip to 7:30 . For people who want to learn, listen from the beginning.

Wrong. The instruction starts at the start of the video. The demonstration of the lift starts at 7:30. Dudes who skip the first 7 minutes are the same ones who write in dumbass questions to Rip's podcast cause they can't be bothered to learn the _why_. If you want to remain blind, ignorant, and dependent on youtube to tell you what to do, skip the first 7 minutes. If you want to understand, watch the whole video.

do it all the time, then I take a break and read all the comments. restart the whole process again. The end result, I have gained immense knowledge while keeping myself entertained.

Fake Natty Actually no...... it doesn’t matter if he drops “regular” deadlifts or not. A “regular” barbell deadlift off the floor is just some random result of the plate radii and barbell length that some random fabricator/engineer in the early 20th century decided upon on a whim. No magic involved. It is simply widely adopted as a strength standard, making it easy to perceive, measure, and compare. But still, no magic. The lifts themselves are arbitrary, provided that the proper compound movement patterns that challenge the natural motor abilities of the body are present (leg flexion/extension, hip hinge, some kind of horizontal and vertical pulling, some kind of horizontal and vertical pressing...) The “regular” deadlift matters about as much to overall, generic strength and fitness as the 100m dash matters to an overall, generic runner.

Lenny Ganado I bet you don’t even lift :)

Oliver Allen that’s great Oliver. But I could never have lifted in my life, and my comment would still ring true. the deadlift holds absolutely no intrinsic value to strength. in the same way that the dollar bill has no intrinsic value. it is all about ease of perception and measurement. do you understand that? if we were all lifting with homemade deadlift rigs with varying-size plates and bar lengths, that data would be impossible to compare, compile and judge, correct? THAT is the practicality of the standard barbell deadlift as you know it today. in terms of progressively challenging your musculature and becoming strong, though, you could get your quads, hips, traps, grip & spinal erectors just as strong as the next guy by deadlifting dumbbells for all I care. there is no one definitive“deadlift”

@@lennyganado3975 Thank you for posting this. I agree that there's nothing special about the standard barbell movements. It's illogical to think a barbell back squat, barbell deadlift, etc. are the definitive strength movements and any other movement is automatically inferior. It's just tradition, and completely arbitrary (like you said). The sport of strongman is probably the best test of general strength out of any strength sport, and is definitely a better test of general strength than powerlifting or olympic lifting. And there's a reason why strongmen train a wide variety of movements with a wide variety of equipment, because that's how you truly build general strength. Dumbbells, kettlebells, stones, yokes, logs, sandbags, etc. all have value when it comes to building strength. You can deadlift from any height, squat with any bar or other implement, press with any bar or other implement, and it will get you stronger as long as you can progressively overload it. Like strongmen, you could lift stones, deadlift axles, throw kegs, carry yokes/frames/farmer's handles, pull sleds or cars, push prowlers, and it will get you stronger. It's funny, because people who think you should only ever do the three standard power lifts to get strong, often are surprisingly weak or get injured when you take them outside of those movements. Based on the SAID principle, your body adapts specifically based on the demands placed upon it. Therefore, a standard barbell deadlift makes you better at a standard barbell deadlift. The more different a movement is from the barbell deadlift, the less your strength will carry over. So if you take someone who only performs barbell deadlifts and have them try to lift an atlas stone, they will be surprisingly weak in that position.

Always arse forward and push 😅

george leeman style

Nope a SLDL is pulled off the floor

Actually, while I know Rippetoe is world renown; I disagree with him here. The way that he is coaching this RDL, is more like what I consider to be a SLDL. Off the floor or not. As far as I know the SLDL may call for the low back to move into flexion, but imho that makes the exercise far more dangerous. In this videos case it appears that this RDL has a tremendous amount of focus on hamstrings as opposed to low back. The fact is that you can RDL safely for low back and also RDL for hamstrings.

Exactly the same principle and process, except it's done quicker in plyos

ashley armstrong That's interesting you think that. The stretch reflex in plyometrics has the requirement that the amortization phase (bit when you are neither lengthening or shortening) is completed in around 180m/sec to qualify as a 'stretch reflex'. Otherwise it is just fast eccentric/concentric contraction. I'm not sure that anyone who is lifting over 40-50% of their max for the 1 rpm RDL would be able to fulfill that requirement or that it would be safe to try. It's the same as jump squats. They cease to be plyometric as soon as the time on the ground increases. They are still 'jump' squats because the person is trying to jumping but as soon as the time on the floor is too high they become exploding upward squats not plyometric jump squats.

Without a walkout you'll be hitting the rack during the exercise. To lift the bar from the floor instead of a rack would be doing the 'stiff legged deadlift'. A different exercise completely and one Mark has dispensed with because it has little worth.

Jack Carter No you would do a normal deadlift and then do your RDL starting from the top... Why would you stiff leg?

He just means why not deadlift it into the top position for RDLs and then do RDLs. If you have no rack, this is how you would do RDLs.

Wasting a rep? If you can do 3x8 RDL's from the rack and 3x7 RDL's by deadlifting it into position then you just account for it. The point of training is to add more reps and or weight. Doing 1 sub-maximal conventional deadlift at the beginning of an RDL set will not stop you going from progressing 3x7 to 3x10 on RDLs. If you have a rack use it.... if you don't then deadlift it into position.

@Scotty Davlin Yup! People will still pretend to not understand what you and the other dude said. "Wasting a rep" lol if you use a lower weight for RDLs then DLing it from the floor shouldnt sap your strength much at all

LOL my man.

All of the above, although I don't know how much RDLs would benefit your lockout.

The Romanian Undead Lift.

Gotah Gemini stiff leg is similar but starts from the ground. Leg stiff and back flat the whole time. Start w low weight

Similar to deadlift, but the difference is that is A RDL Not a normal one

@Jeff Sol Maybe, I could have said something wrong, but do u remember what's the point of doing a narrower stance?

Who decided that? Do what what eve u want . It’s not that deep

Yeah I love SLD my favourite exercise, It Is a deadlift just without the quads, In my opinion SLD + Squats= a strong deadlift

Romanian deadlift hits your low back more than conventional deadlift.

It's an assistance exercise to strengthen the muscles needed for Conventional deadlift. How can you strengthen the back with a belt on?

Chicken Calling me out is the dumbest thing. Clue: The belt comment is about *ROMANIAN DEADLIFT* Clue: The video is about *Romanian Deadlift* Clue: In the context of strength training *The RDL is an assistance exercise* to strengthen some of the muscles used when doing Conventional Deadlifts. Clue: Who the fuck uses a belt for an *assistance exercise* .... ho hum. Please leave your comment here so everybody can see how stupid you are.

NotSoLiberal bending at the knee will cause slack in the hams and glutes, which would defeat half the purpose of the lift. You use your current range of motion for the lift, even if it is a small(er) range of motion

I should say excess bending. Slight increase in bend I would say is okay

yep, a dorian yates row for that matter

Dale G. Don't think so. Because here you are forcing the bar to run along your legs by engaging the lats

Stiff legged deadlift starts from the floor.

Slight lumbar extension my central valley buddy

Fake Natty thx

A SLDL starts on the floor, the romanian DL dont.

exactly

Jayden Clarke That’s a rack pull. No dead stop is what makes it an RDL

@@bigdrippa6945 rack pull = ego lift for most people

The guy is just too tall and it makes it seem like a stiff legged deadlift, however, if you are a small guy there'll be a big difference between this exc and the stiffed leg one.

Because it isn't a deadlift. Didn't you listen to what Mark said?

Do you even lift?

Well, most of us are very glad that you died. RIP (petoe rules)

Let us attend

Praised be the form.

Wheymen

Just don't do it there.

Bryon Lape you can’t! They don’t have free weights lol.
