Go through the whole video to really understand the notes I provide here. 1. Tilt hip a lil backwards at start of motion and maintain it throughout. 2. Don't lock out knees, just a slight bend and maintain it throughout. 3. Chest up: think about keeping chest up throughout the motion. 4. Slow eccentric: go down slow, 1-2-3-4-5. Take corrective action of find any, like knee bending, chest sagging etc. 5. Internal cueing: knees back, chest up, tummy out. Repeat these cues in your head throughout the motion. 6. Optimal depth: hit the depth where the pain is maximum in hamstring, without compromising on any of the above points.

I do find it interesting that I always felt my hamstrings doing a deadlift but I could never feel them with the Romanian deadlift, and, after I found your channel through Juji Mufu, I had watched some of the videos with Jared and how he taught the Romanian deadlift and now I absolutely love that exercise, I feel it every single time and sometimes you do have to humble yourself and say after 20 years you can always learn something new

1. Arching lower back. 2. Knees almost locked out, stable, don't bend. 3. Chest up. Don't let back round. 4. Slow eccentric. Slow down. Fast up. 5. Optimal Depth. Stay in your active range. (grows with time as your hammies lengthen. remember, mobility is strength in end range motion). Stop when lowback/upperback rounds/ both.

What’s being demonstrated here is actually Romanian Deadlifts (RDLs), which start the hinge from the top; SLDLs start the hinge from the floor (essentially, a conventional deadlift with a higher hip position). The cueing and suggestions presented works for either, though SLDLs will have you return the weight to the floor, which will slightly bend the knees if you don’t have the flexibility. Still a good video, though!
@RenaissancePeriodization
2 жыл бұрын
Interesting. As far as I understand it, RDLs are not formal nomenclature in modern sport science. People were doing the exact same variation of SLDLs all over the world before the Romanians made them popular. I think the best nomenclature is to call all fixed-knee, moving-hip hamstring-targeting deadlifts SLDLs, and then be more specific about other details, like "from the ground" or "with a wide grip," etc. - Dr. Mike

Thought maybe I just reached a point where ai need a deload week (prob do anyway), but I think it’s more that my form is breaking down at depth and taking tension off.

For the first rep of the set, I'll bend at the hips as described, then bend the knees a little, then bend the hips into the space that's created, and then squeeze the quads back up against the hams, and that's the starting point. I seem to find that burning stretch better squeezing up from the quads than sinking down from the hips.
