You want it upside down?

ETA: Is it not showing up pre-rotated? I rotated it in edits and it shows up 100% processed and corrected for me now. Weird if it doesn't for you.

A bit hard to tell, but it looks like the bar is coming away from you a bit too much. Use your lats to keep it pinned to the front of your body. It also might be a good idea to reach back with your ass a bit more with knees a bit straighter. This may also allow you to stretch your hamstrings better without having to go so low.

IANAC though.

This **** still isn't from the side. Did we not just go over this?!

having said that, it's a bit better. I dno, seems maybe fine. Who knows. Not me, I can't tell how far you're getting your ass back. That is the key to RDLs. You may be doing them more like SLDLs tbh given how low you're getting, but again, WHO KNOWS?!

Yeah, probably this. But I still would like to see from the side to actually see what is going on. Well, tbh I don't care too much, but it'd make it easier to analyze.

I missed that part Yugos. I thought the problem with the last video was that the camera was too close.

Are you not supposed to go that low with RDLs? I thought you were supposed to hit parallel.

There's no required or forbidden depth with RDLs AFAIK. The goal is just to go as low as required to feel a stretch in the hamstrings, and then use the stretch reflex to contract them hard. I think it's probably better to not go so low, if the hamstring muscle ROM is the same. In other words, with a straighter leg and more reaching back with the ass, the same effect on the hamstrings can be achieved with a shallower bar depth.

ETA: FYI, when I used to do RDLs, my form was a bit like yours. I even started standing on a plate so I could go even lower because I was hitting the floor before feeling the proper hamstring stretch. Then someone (possibly SM, but I can't remember) helped tweak my form and it resulted in a much tighter, shallower ROM with the same hamstring stretch. Made everything much safer, more efficient, and more powerful.

Get your ass back farther. You're hanging way over the bar, putting way more stress on the low back than you want, turning this into a SLDL.

Weight again 162. Brutal. Skinny. Bulk.

Figured I'd miss some PRs today. Travel always takes it out of me. Inferior food access, inferior sleep. Only got maybe five hours last night. Yuck.

Bench
45x5x2
135x5
175x3
205x2
225x1
240x1
240x4
240x3
185x5

225 felt so solid. First three reps of 240 felt easy. Think there was some form breakdown on the fourth rep. Suddenly hard as fack. Oh well. Five reps next time.

Squat
45x5x2
135x5
175x3
195x2
205x2x2
225x1x2
250x5
250x3x2
195x5

Whew. Still happy. I'll get it next time.

OHP
45x5x2
70x5
95x3
110x2
125x1
140x1
140x2 (+3f)
135x3
95x5

Gross! Missed this by a mile. RIP gainz.

Toes to bar
X15x2

Deadlift
135x5
185x5
225x3
275x2
315x1
335x2 (+1f, missed lockout) (PR)
335x1x4
315x1
275x5

Wtffff that still counts for reps, right? The lift felt solid and strong, like I could easily have lifted more. Only thing that failed was my grip strength. Even mixed grip didn't save me. Simply couldn't hold on to the bar any longer. Rage. Buying straps asap.

Incline
160x8x2 (PR)

Curls
80x8x2 (fixed barbell) (PR)

Muscle ups
5x2

Iso rear leg curl
65x8
70x8 (PR)

V sit Ab rockers
1mx2 (1m rests)

Still a pleasant day in PR City. Might get bodpod again or DEXA at the end of the year. Got some sick vein popping during curls. Couldn't help myself, had to bro it up and stare at myself.

look what jeffnotawesome started.. we are now calling everything a WR. u should have used 165 for incline, bro. same weight as your fake bro in hawaii.

11-23-2013 , 07:39 PM
LOL if it's a PR it's a PR!

RealB, I will do 165 incline next time. Didn't want to get crazy today with a 10lb jump. Pretty sure you are trolling me tho saying you do 165. Last I checked you incline bench more than I flat bench.

Dude. There's a guy that goes to my gym who is a DYEL version of you! I've seen him several times over the past year and a half, and he always does muscle ups! Like every time. It's all he ever does, though... except for cable crunches where he moves his torso around in circles.

I'll try to get a pic if I can... gonna check the background of my vids.

He even has the shaved head and beard thing going on.

Congrats on the PRs! Eat more, bro.

It probably is fakeb. His day off he goes light and does random shiet handstands and muscle ups. With no pump, 160 looks like shiet no matter what.

I love the standing iso leg curl by Hammer Strenghth. That shiet is facking solid no matter what anyone says. They even have a plate loaded version. Hams fried after 3 sets each leg and helps with inbalances. Legit.

Jesus, Hammer Strength makes an iso of everything.

It just never crossed my mind for this to be something to do iso.

I should go to a Real Gym(tm) sometime that has **** like this. I only know of one 'garage' gym in town and its way the frack on the other side of town.

I'm 200 and look like sheit. DNEL in clothes. Barely look like I lift without.

Everyone here shiets on leg curls so I don't think you are missing anything. I just like that machine because I get a massive hamstring pump.

Could be the DYEL evil twin. Did we ever get those side by side pics yet?

Good pump? I'll try then next time I have a deadlift day. Sounds nice

Yes, exactly. I started doing them because I had notable imbalances in my legs. Always a slim chance loco suggesting I incorporate them was a troll all along, but it has def helped. It is the leg bro equivalent of curls.

That is why you never leave the house without a pump bro. Quick set of curls are a must.

Pics are coming. He makes me look so big. His friends saw me next to him, later told him I looked like I was on steroids. The magic of a tinybro standing next to a microbro.

wear tighter clothes. If tighter clothes don't make your shoulders and traps pop then yep, DNEL.
