Lol it’s from this American animated series called Invincible 😂 thanks for answering the question lads. I’m a S&C coach as well so I was looking for a second opinion on that. Thanks again 🥂
Bald Omni-Man is notorious ! I feel like you've made it as a fitness youtuber if Bald Omni-Man is tuning in ! I've seen him on Squat Every Day, Szat Strength, Zack Telander, to name a few, so you guys are strutting with grand company if he's in your comment section
I’m so glad you guys tackled this. I was doing RDLs last week and thought about how I must be doing them wrong, because my lower back was blowing up and I felt minor engagement in the hamstrings. I just assumed my technique was garbage.
Hey I'm 11 years old 141.3 lbs and my lifts are: S 400 kg B 600 kg D 100 kg Do you think it's too early for sterons like creatine whey? Also I eat a package of dried cranberries I sugar every day and my mom says that's gross is it and and how do I tell her that I want to be Bodybuilding Strong Lifter when I'm 13? Like my cousin he has a BMX bike and watches Brian Shaw videos he says he flexed his arm in class one day.
How to you fix lop sided loading? I stand/push thru/use my right leg and it's a big issue in rehabbingy QL injuring. I do single leg work(split squats, SLRDLs and SL leg press) but it's still an issue... Any tips??
For some RDLs are all the rage especially with women. They're pretty much a ridiculous waste of time exercise. These people should be doing stiff legged deadlifts instead. Much more effective. And I'm not even gonna go into those silly hip thrusters that every chick is now obsessed with. Funny thing is you'll never see those females ever doing even 1 set of calf training
RDLs done properly sound fantastic for climbing/bouldering, both snatch and conventional. Probably worth just swapping out regular DLs for them. Great info lads.
Lads, completely unrelated to this video but I recon there could definitely be a decent video in reviewing Nicolaas du Preez at some point. He has some wild lifts, including a below parallel 430kg squat on his Instagram. He looks like he ate Arnold and J Cutler for breakfast.
Thanks to our leaders of the non democratic republic of sikastan for adressing my appeal!!! Appreciate it Was not expecting that you dont like short forms in sentences tho Will do differently in my next appeal. Just thought you would like some time saved after having spent some time in your labour camps to get the appeal granted and seen the efficency they are run with 😂
I’ve had this debate many times and after doing both exercises always found RDL never touched my hamstrings. Whereas SLDL is way better and targets the hamstrings.
RDLS do you want to engage your lats to keep it close or do you want to it hanging so it puts more stress on the lower back sinces it will be further away from you?
Thats weird. I feel them almost entirely in my hamstrings. But I'm a powerlifter who pulls conventional so my back is super strong. SLDL don't do much for me. Anyway I think RDLs are actually for whatever they help you with. Same with every other exercise.
I think their point is when done "properly", meaning the way the original weightlifting assistance exercise is done (leaning forward, not pushing hips back that much) it's not for hamstrings. But if you concentrate only on pushing hips back and getting the hamstring stretch, it is for hamstrings.
@@ezet yeah but I think thats pretty gate keepy especially because exercises evolve and change and are inspired by other exercises...and to assert that is "the way" to do it because that how 1 group in one strength sport did it is silly. Other strength sports do things differently.
@@hunterthompson6191 Right, and it would be one thing to provide the historical context but its another to gatekeep and say "its not for hamstrings" because it was once used that way. It has evolved and us used in many different contexts now, many times for hamstrings.
@Julia Williams This! The older I get the more this truth plays out. We're all human, but our different morphology means different exercises might...might hit each of us a bit differently.
Anecdotally, doing core work every day rather than twice a week made a huge difference to my Judo performance, both in terms of injury prevention and, a big one for me, keeping good posture late into rounds of sparring.
У меня вопрос!! I go to a commercial gym and don’t have access to almost any of the implements that will be present in my strongman competition in February they have a few things in our “functional fitness“ area of the gym that may act as a facsimile to some of the events. It’s getting a little close now and I will just admit that I have been using super total training, otherwise known as training powerlifting and Olympic lifting at the same time, to which I have a larger base in Olympic lifting by comparison as a surrogate to implement-focused, traditional strongman training. How far out from competition should I start shifting the focus from the foundation to building to very high training specificity bearing in mind that I understand I may not eliminate some of those foundational exercises entirely? BW: 77-80 kg CJ: 120 kg Snatch: 90kg DL: 200kg (no straps) Squat:160kg Bench: 105kg (very weak, I know 😬) I’m not super great but I’ve finally started improving after following some specific advice from your channel; you’ve pointed me in a more optimal direction as it were. Thanks guys
Hate to burst people’s bubbles but both activate the hamstrings regardless. It’s a hinge exercise where the hips are doing the work just like doing a good morning only the loading is posterior (vs anterior loading in the RDL and SLDL)
Timing is everything I just added SLS into my programme yesterday after a month off didn't go particularly heavy but really felt it in the hamstrings very deliberate on the moment
Can you link a vid to the core movements you mentioned in this vid please? I searched for "arms extended planks" and got wildly different results :) Plus I'm not sure if the arm touching the floor in the star fish plank should be extended or not! In a recent vid you also mentioned a regular plank with 30% added bodyweight. That still a thing? Sorry for being British x
q from past vid @sika, no sport specific super-compnesation, but what if the whole point of the sport is to perform the specific skill under fatigue? worth training the skill fatigued then? eg bball shooting while fatigued
oooof, im noticing a slight pull down on the right side of my body when doing SLDL. When I go further down in the movement, this is the time where i see the slight bend towards the right side. My shoulder blade on the right side has been doing some funky noises and at one point hurt as they retracted out when reaching for the bar during a dead lift or picking anything up. It's fine right now but now lower right side of my back in between the glute and the right lower back has been hurting a little. What do you guys recommend?
That’s your QL bro. Had the same problem just use The hyperextension machine, double leg hypers, single leg hypers to emphasize that area. And QL sideways hyperextensions (learned this from knees over toes guy and it cured it). Do a lot of reps and pump a bunch of blood to the muscle and alternate with heavier working sets each session. Get a really nice stretch and extend on pump and work day.
Guys would you do a video on leg length discrepancies and how you overcome/compensate for them in athletes. I personally have a 20mm tibia length discrepancy which can cause quite a few issues in the bottom of a deep squat even if compensated for by standing on a 20mm shim.
