Mr. Bennett, please, never EVER apologize for explaining the details of things as it's clear and concise. Thanks for helping us build thick (thicc) legs. Cheers.
Only recently learned of The Hypertrophy Coach and your channel when watching a Chris Bumstead leg training video. Safe to say you are one of the most knowledgeable and relatable teachers I've come across when it comes to the biomechanics and physiology of resistance training (this coming from someone with a BS, MS, and PhD in kinesiology). I like the manner in which you explain and demonstrate complex concepts in a way any layperson should be able to understand. It's not a prerequisite for being an expert on a subject but I think it helps that you practice what you teach. Not sure if you'll ever see this comment being this an older video but thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience.
Banding it by running the band under my feet works fine until the I use a stronger band at which point it kind-of picks up the sides of my shoes. I prefer bare foot leg pressing movements which doesn't feel very good either with a band under my feet. I think I just need to gain some weight lol or use an individual band for each foot so it pulls upwards and not towards the center. Great info though!
thanks for sharing this work ! huge source of knowledge !! Do you try to keep your scapula retracted during the set ? I tried in the past but it was clearly my liming factor ... so i don t anymore to get more work on hams and glutes
hi, thank you for the video. I have a question: given the fact that my gym doesn't have that deadlift/rdl platform, can i use the bands around my hips (like in a cable rdl type of exercise) to have tension at the top of the movement?
I wanna see how Joe answers your question too but to offer my 2 cents, you could use 4 heavy dumbbells to set up the bands similar to the way Joe has them set up in this video.
Would using a BBell attach on cables/functional trainer be similar to bands? I love using cables for squats/ deadlifts but some “trainers” say it’s trash. 🤔
Great info. I was taught to go to mid shin level and back to Mid thighs or so. Never paid attention to where the plates were just to go to mid shin and push the hips back
I feel the RDLs in my lower back. Even if I do the movement with no weights at all I feel all the tension going in the lower back... which is scary since I recovered from an herniated disk in the lumbar region. Are RDL risky for people who used to have a herniated disc? Should I not do them?
Should the weight be kept close to the knees? You said we’d want the weight further away from the hip, so wondering if it makes sense to bring it away from the knees or if that would switch the tension to the upper back
Thanks a lot! Honest question. Do you think more about pushing your butt back or bending over/forward (without rounding the back)? It looks more like the latter. Just wondering as many people cue "push your butt back".
Have a couple clips in this video. Aside from. 4-5 warmup sets I do various isometrics/endrange work. Just released and ebook covering in detail everything I do pre/post session www.hypertrophycoach.com/product/the-mobile-meathead/
If the load isn’t too heavy and aimed more at hypertrophy, could we avoid bracing and breathing deeply with a distended stomach. (In an attempt to maintain a tighter waist overall?)
I can’t answer for him but, RDL isolates the hamstrings and glutes a bit more than conventional DL. Because of this, the RDL is less fatiguing than a heavy DL. I consider the RDL an awesome assistance exercise for the the DL.
@@danielmitchell1228 so the RDL build the hamstrings and glutes more than the conventional DL but the RDL is an assistance exercise to the conventional?
Just saw your hack squat video yesterday and I was hoping you'd upload a video on RDLs. My prayers have been answered. This is great info
👊😂

I started using bands and chains because of you, and I would never look back. Thanks Joe, you're the best!

By far my favorite place to come for body building info. I've learned a ton. Thank you for the free info coach.
🙏
Most underrated UA-cam channel, keep up the good work!
Good stuff man! Glad I found your channel!
Yea bing watching 😂😂😂
Loved that side rant
People are so butthurt when they dont understand something
I've been doing them with a trap bar, I just feel my shoulder more comfortable and more neutral on my spine. You're a legend!. Thank you
Powerlifters bodybuilders dont matter this is gold
👊🙏
The bands is the best way for me to feel my hammies.
Always love your insight, Joe. Thanks for another gem!
absolutely brilliant video...so so helpful!! Your content is literally invaluable to me, you have taught me so much!!!
Always so informative 👏🏻 keep it up 👊🏻
Great vid again! Also helps to put things we know already explain to others 👍🏻
Thank you, Sir! After applying some of your tips, I definitely feel a difference in my training!
Well you NEED a slight bend in an RDL otherwise it just becomes a stiff leg deadlift
Great content ! Super useful 💯 Thanks for sharing.
Awesome video mate🔥

Great info! What’s the rep scheme you go for? Building up to heaviest few? Any back off? Talking specifically for growth. Cheers.
I've been using bands lately but this is an excellent way to add them to another exercise. Thanks!
Great content. Very articulate. New sub here. Thank you.
THANKS FOR THIS ONE JOE ,
Great video
Loved the hack squat video.... but damn...I struggle with that machine😞🤭
I appreciate you man. Learned so much in this video.
Thanks again for great content.
Lots off love too uuhh mann❤️❤️.
Feedback= BRUTAL
I just did these vs the standing on band version. This version. Is much harder
Great content! What is your opinion on Smith machine RDLs? I feel my hams more that way. Thanks!
Yes! This is perfect as all I want is MASS
thanks for sharing this work ! huge source of knowledge !!
Do you try to keep your scapula retracted during the set ? I tried in the past but it was clearly my liming factor ... so i don t anymore to get more work on hams and glutes
Nope. Just keep them still and braced
4:30 important reminder!

I show how to do it in the video. Standing on a band
And yes, band on the hips is a fine option as well. I use that when the main goal is glute development
This is awesome. Do you have a set up for bands on a squat rack?
U never have a short answer !! Love it tho lol
I find that RDL’s targets my lower lats far better than Rack Pulls! Why is this?
Greater ROM
Thanks for your time.
Would a band around your waist be more effective for hip extension specially if your working on your glutes.
Would using a BBell attach on cables/functional trainer be similar to bands? I love using cables for squats/ deadlifts but some “trainers” say it’s trash. 🤔
Great info. I was taught to go to mid shin level and back to Mid thighs or so. Never paid attention to where the plates were just to go to mid shin and push the hips back
Glad I came across this today, very informative, well explained.

Amazing content
thanks for this video. i love rdls never tried em banded tho. any recommendations for band companies?
Should the weight be kept close to the knees? You said we’d want the weight further away from the hip, so wondering if it makes sense to bring it away from the knees or if that would switch the tension to the upper back
Anyone know what type of shoes he’s wearing??
New balance
Can someone tell me what the AF stands for. Sorry for being thick
I can even go paralellal to the ground but dont feel the hamstrings very much
Looking into buying some bands for my basement gym... are there any specific ones you recommend?
whats the difference between rdl and sldl?
why are you so funny?.......Love all of your common sense content, tfs!
Thanks a lot! Honest question. Do you think more about pushing your butt back or bending over/forward (without rounding the back)? It looks more like the latter. Just wondering as many people cue "push your butt back".
Thank you
Awesome.
How do you warm up for deads and squats, thank you.
Have a couple clips in this video. Aside from. 4-5 warmup sets I do various isometrics/endrange work. Just released and ebook covering in detail everything I do pre/post session

Dumbbells for this movement or no??
Thanks
Should we use belts while conventional deadlift
If you want to
@@HypertrophyCoach I don't feel comfortable in belts are they necessary
If the load isn’t too heavy and aimed more at hypertrophy, could we avoid bracing and breathing deeply with a distended stomach. (In an attempt to maintain a tighter waist overall?)
For the algorithm
Thanks Ryan!…. Wait…. What?
Damn this edit
And these will help my legs grow?

Why would you program a rdl instead of let's say a deadlift ? Does it provie less fatigue ?
I can’t answer for him but, RDL isolates the hamstrings and glutes a bit more than conventional DL. Because of this, the RDL is less fatiguing than a heavy DL. I consider the RDL an awesome assistance exercise for the the DL.
Also, RDL is usually done with the focus on the eccentric which helps build muscle. Conventional deadlift concentric based.
@@danielmitchell1228 so the RDL build the hamstrings and glutes more than the conventional DL but the RDL is an assistance exercise to the conventional?
Rdls are great for bodybuilders where doing deadlifts off the ground isnt really needed.
@@man1cs171 to that i say why not do some sumo deadlifts and have additional knee flexion?
👍
Dude is winded from talking...
Dude! It’s prison Mike!
