3 Reasons Why This is My Favourite Exercise

As a Romanian I can confirm this is how we lift the dead.

bro is built like a freaking tank.

Thank you so much❤️ I workout at home so I don’t have the equipment to lean on and I desperately needed this exercise to bring up my posterior chain😮‍💨 I have made several attempts to incorporate this exercise into my program, but always ended up with some sort of lower back pain the next day😑 after watching this video, I realized there were several things that I was doing wrong. Thank you so much, this information was truly worth his weight in gold💯💯🔥🔥

but is it a problem if my knees are locked when lowering the weight. my knees dont bend and when i see other people do it they bend a little bit. however i do feel very big stretch

What's the difference between an RDL and a good morning?

At first I was like "why he pulled up his shirt for that clip?" then I realized it was your belt 😂 and not bare skin.. Good video. Thanks a lot!

This is one of the more complicated lifts in my workout. Im going to be referring to this video before every leg workout

Question: I AM one of those people with very flexible hamstrings.. so should my bar go lower if I can keep my back straight while doing so? I don't feel any stretch at all when I go down as far as demonstrated. Or just use more weight instead of going down further if it feels too easy?

Thanks for this, great video.

I have an ape index of about +13, so I can't avoid the bar touching the floor :(

Nice

I cant see any beefy hamstring in you

I can't do these even with straps, the weight is too much. I prefer SLDLs, I prefer to engage my hamstrings by lifting weight from the floor, rather than trying to lower the bar to the right level. I don't have to worry about keeping the bar close to me, and i can feel my hamstrings way more.

Thank you for this! Exactly what I needed.

I always feel like I could go heavier for my hamstrings, but my (fore)arms always give out, even with straps

I've been on a newbie gym program for 3 months. I had good progress in all exercises except the kick back machine. I hated it, super uncomfortable and during all this time I could not increase the resistance on that machine nor did I notice any effects. I now dumped the machine and exchanged it for the RDL. 2 weeks in I already feel the hams grow, and I'm female.

Very great and very useful video, I also have a question if you can help me, deadlift also helps reduce abdominal fat and increase muscle mass?

Romanian deadlifts + seated leg curls are what grew my hams better than anything else. I used to just do lying curl but i only ever grew my hams near the inside of my knee.

Wait didn’t you tell JJW to stand on a step???? Haha

I love how Jeff has to actually try in order to have bad form. Good Stuff. Thanks Jeff!

Thanks Jeff

if i feel it in my lower back what am i doing wrong lol, should i try keep my shoulders more back instead of rounding at the bottom ?

I'm not sure what is the difference between pushing/dropping your butt back towards the wall compared to pushing your hips back towards the wall? its the same thing. You don't lower your back, you push your hips back towards the wall which will lower the back/lowering the arms as a byproduct?
