Anyone RDL 4 plates??

[78novacaine]

I'm gonna throw those snatch grip RDL's back in the mix after I come off my deload, that hammy stretch is REAL. I like the db version too but my gym's DB rack maxes out at 120's...

[ChangeOfStyle]

Do you guys keep the full leg under lock or bend down just abit for a normal RDL?

When in doubt, just add rubber bands lolol

Some knee bend is fine as long as you're not turning it into a squat

[Iceman1800]

My best was 455 on rdl's. I used this exercise to bring my dl up from low 400's to over 600#. My weak point was above the knees and this helped my lockout like no other exercise ever could. Heavy triples.

[jeshelton]

Soo sorry. I didnt know that the dude is beyond criticism. Guess I'll let you all go back to stroking each other's ego lifts...

No avi + no vids + critique on any BB movement = ayyy lmao

Played around with them. Stopped here.

Bumped my phone when pressing play so you’ll have to use your imagination about what my lower legs look like.

Impressiveverynice.png - but how do you stack up against JoeyCentral? Guess we'll never know.

I follow a dude on insta boasting 4 plate squat @ 225 lol

Thanks for the ether brah, now I need to find a better place than misc to hide.

Have not tried 4 plate RDL, might do it today. Last set a month back was 365x8 strapped, so I am likely close.

[HMFIC_BROWSIN]

I used to do that chit all the time but my back/hip took a trip to snap city and I had a hernia so now I don't DL at all anymore lmao.

snatched grip is more for hypertrophy than strength, correct?

i don't lift heavy anymore. I just do circuit training stuff to maintain my current mass, and burn calories so i can drink beer and eat pizza on the weekends.

Yesterday I did 8 sets of 15 with 135lbs. 45 seconds of rests between each set. By the 4th set my glutes and hamstrings were on fire. When I finished the 8th set, I felt the total body exhaustion I used to feel after high school wrestling practices.

[sammywatkins]

I’ve done 405 for reps maybe about 8. No desire to do that anymore. Not a lift I enjoy nor do I think the reward outweighs the risk. If i do do a rdl type movement it will usually be on a smith. Easier to feel hamstrings working

[bsrkoacar]

I rdl 4 plates and a quarter for high reps

[DrunkonMilk]

Pretty good movement if done properly. Most people don't use their hips and turn it into a stiff leg dl lol.

That's the difference between an intermediate and advanced lifter. You're able to "feel" when a certain lift has a poor ROI for your body. For me that was Good Mornings. I could put a 2.5lb twink weight on either side, do a single rep and was like... yeah no i'm gonna kill myself.

I'm over 30 and a desk jocky. I'm perfectly fine lifting for aesthetics. Regular deadlifts i'm doing 315 for reps. Romanians i'll do 205 and just focus on getting quality reps in over the sheer number. Anyone who wants to argue with me on this can just look at the current state of Jay Cutler vs Ronnie Coleman.

I feel like you get more upper back involvement with the snatch grip, and it also allows for a deeper ROM to really stretch the hams at the bottom of the movement. But yes, I use them as a hypertrophy movement, and conventional deads for my main strength hip hinge.

[StiffSproles]

I can do about 405 for sets of 8-10. It's a tough movement and snatch grip makes it easier to keep a neutral spine, engaging your lats and keeping your point on form.

fuuuuuuk no

Snatch is my go to

[Aristotelian]

And very few here do either.

Yeah but that's why threads like this are a blessing, even with the usual chit posting from losers.

I didn't die.

The waiver you need to sign to join that gym tho...damn.

I slightly tore a muscle in my lower back doing barbell rows a bit ago and it is almost fully healed. Never done RDLs before but if it'll help me get my overall deadlift numbers up (I tend to stall either on the floor or a few inches off the floor) I'm game.

[adamsz]

Couple of beasts in fbis thread, mirin videos.

I could maybe do 4 plates for a few reps, haven't focused on barbell RDL's in years.

[jk202]

Make the misc lift again.

First day loading these after a minor injury setback. 355x5 with really good control today

Havent really tried RDL, just SLDL and I dont even go heavy on that. I've stiff legged 405 pretty easily a while back. I'll have to try it out.

I've slowed down on my chase for a 700lb DL, maybe these would help.

[TrickHenry]

deadlift 5 plates for a double, but only do RDLs with 2 plates. High reps, Slow stretch.

They really helped me with the grind from the shins up on conventional deads.

Helped me form the mindset that if I get it off the ground Im not missing the lift, because the hardest part is done.

Also really good to help cue the body to keep the lower posterior chain working in unison.

Romanian deads that is...SLDL can suck a dick to snap city

[staywithmebaby]

Yes I do, srs.

Gonna add these to my leg routine. I hit a wall deadlifting and kinda just stopped doing them so much because I didn't feel like I was progressing.

Yea my actual dl is piss, but I don't train it that often. I feel like I get more out of the rdl anyways for hypertrophy
