    I do them with 5 second eccentrics for 3-4 sets of 5+ reps. Quick tip: do not do this. Start off with 1 or 2 sets at most if you’ve never worked out your hamstrings. You won’t be able to walk for 3 days.

    @thghtfl 2 роки тому +6

    The thing is, squat shoes would slightly change the angle of your hips to the ground, essentially lessening the stretch to the hamstrings. Squat shoes are meant for squats and bench if you insist. Otherwise, like in RDLS, they're probably counter productive or negligible.

    The biggest keys that you missed: 1) adopt a wider grip (snatch grip is the standard for this lift) and 2) don’t wear lifters as they raise the heel and lessen the stretch you can get at the attachment of your hamstrings.

    This is very wrong, to say to distribute the load on your feet throughout. The bulk of the load should strictly be on your heels because that's the line of your Posterior chain's center of gravity. This is why BBers tell you to wear chuck converse's or go bare foot to do any DL variation. Plant your foot and push with your heels. The DL is not a pull movement, it's a push movement.

      That stretch is a good thing. Not only does it improve hypertrophy, it also improves flexibility. You’ll get used to it, RDL’s are far more effective than leg curls!!!

    • @Anonymous-xr8hx
      @Anonymous-xr8hx 2 роки тому +4

      If you want to maximise the benefit to your hamstrings you'd be better off getting used to the feeling of RDLs. Leg curls don't work all 4 hamstring muscles. To get a complete workout you should really be doing something like RDLs followed by leg curls (you can look at alternatives I guess but curls alone is not enough if you want a full workout).

    I actually tried out RDL's first time today but I had a hard time feeling my hamstrings. I'm thinking it might be beacuse I'm too flexible though, is that common? When warmed up I can almost touch the ground with my palms for reference.

    • @waitam5014
      @waitam5014 2 роки тому +3

      I think not because I too can touch my palms to the floor when warmed up. And I assume when you placebyou palms on the floor you can still feel hamstrings stretch and as do I. Anyway, I think somehow your spine is not fixed and “stiffed” during RDL. try videotaping your self and see if you can spot the issue.
