Hi there! I just stumbled upon your older Kettlebell Bottoms Up post. The authors of Built from Broken mention this exercise under the heading “Stabilizing strength in your rotator cuff muscles“, so I went to youtube to find out how it‘s done. I am a 75 year old reasonably fit female and have absolutely nothing to rehab, but I believe that following your recommendations is a most advisable thing to do just for the prevention of injuries that would then have to be rehabbed later. I watch a lot of fitness channels, but I especially love yours. Your sensible, humble, non-showy, no-nonsense scientific approach and your great care not to leave out any relevant information are extremely appealing to me. Writing this almost brings tears to my eyes (no kidding). I sincerely wish we had people with that rare kind of mindset in all areas of life. The world would be a much better place. When I’ve finished my coffee I’ll try the Kettlebell Bottoms Up. Wish me luck (I hang from the bar three or four times every morning, with calluses on my palms to prove it and my best times exceeding a minute). In the meantime keep up the wonderful work you are doing! Thank you. Angelika from Germany ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Your content has always motivated and helped me a lot. clear explanations and high quality information you provide are unparalleled! keep up the good work.
Thanks for producing this video. You answered every question I had about doing this exercise. I do have another question that may be tangentally related to this exercise. On February 23rd, I suffered a fracture dislocation of my left knee. On the 26th I had reconstructive surgery to repair the damage with a plate and seven screws being inserted. In the middle of June, I was discharged from physical therapy. When I go out walking, I frequently encounter down slopes where the sidewalk meets cross streets. In a couple of paces, the drop can be as much as seven inches over a run of five feet. On the down slope, it almost always feels as though my knee will not support my weight. Sometimes, I experience nearly complete failure of my knee to hold up my weight. Fortunately, I carry a cane with me when I go out for any long distance walks. This is the only situation that gives me any real problems when I go walking. One of my goals is to be able to go out the door and confidently leave the cane at home. Do you have any videos that would address this issue for me?
11:16 - In all my years of extremely hardcore weightlifting (and brutal wrestling) - NOTHING scared me (by testing me) as much as LIGHT-weight, HIGH-rep squat days. The fear would subconsciously begin creeping in about a week ahead of time. To marry squatting (or RDL'ing, here) a weight with which you can ALWAYS do _another_ rep, with a personal standard of going to absolutely insane failure, every set, every workout - is a recipe for masochistic torture on another level. I found out not only to have the puke bucket ready, and the safety-catches set for my passing out - but I learned about the most painfully ego-crushing limits of even my own insane drive - I had to eventually pass out with the 135 lbs on me - or admit to stopping before absolute failure - anathema!! The paradox humbled me. (Or humiliated me...?) The ends of those sets will always be my gold standard for pain tolerance, in life. 😅/😮
The best way to feel it in the hips is to drive the knees out as you ascend, squeezing the glutes movement, this eliminates pretty much all lower back pull feel, having the feet slightly outwards according to your hip socket anatomy is key too
Hi need to ask one question, what is the exact angle one should kept at the time of leaning down while doing RDL, as different videos are showing different suggestions please guide
What is the difference between the RDL you're talking about and SLD (stiff-leg deadlift)? Is it just the knee flexion? My doubt comes from thinking that we always have to have a bit of that knee flexion when performing deadlifts.
I thought knee bend was necessary for RDL because Romanians (Nicu Vlad in particular who brought the exercise to America) used RDL for back training, not hamstring training. Which also better applies for cleans, for which it was used as accessory. Today just about everyone teaches RDL almost interchangeably to SLDL. Besides that caveat, very thorough and applicable instruction for successful exercise. These instructionals are one of my favourites for how comprehensive but simple they are. Like the foot exercises list and ankle/foot stability instructional have provided to be very useful to me. I prefer kettlebell the best for non-barbell, because it helps me in engaging the lats better (I got a bit odd shoulder stability situation where I might accidentally wing one arm), it's less ambiguous where to hold and squeeze the arms/elbows when they connect in the middle. Very well said about the high reps too. It's not once or twice that I made the mistake of having a too intense session before deadlifts or didn't have a long enough break and after some reps wasn't sure if I was just too tired to pull anymore or if I actually got the muscles fried. In fact it's really hard to get the hamstrings fatigued without straps I feel like, and it's hard to tell with the painful stretch when the hamstrings have been properly stimulated. Because you might not feel it right away doing the sets, but it can still end up so that after 5 days the hamstrings are still sore because you just kept adding sets. And the focus on knee tracking can quite easily mess with the balance on the foot (ending up with pressure on the heel instead of spreading it). Lately I've also been much into nordic/reverse nordic curls because it's a somewhat unfamiliar stretch as well, and hard to become so efficient with that you needed extra loading.
2:00 …like you’re preparing to get punched.” What? I must have missed this set of everyday life instructions, or maybe it’s because I’ve never spent time in prison? Apart from that “reference” your video was very informative and well detailed. Thanks for sharing.

You are so great in your teaching very good explanation good teaching is so wonderful
Thank you, very valuable! One of the more technically challenging movements for many people who are getting into strength training.
Very informative and interesting. Thank you 🙏🏽
One of the best and complete explanations about RDLs
Best video for RDL
Absolutely wonderful variation!
Thank you.
This is SUCH a good video, very clear!
I do Hex bar deadlifts....
THAT WAS AWESOME!
Very educational and really nicely done!
Great content, thank you!❤

Thanks for a great video!
Hello, I'm from Brazil and I follow your channel! Your content is amazing! Could you make a video about popliteus injury rehabilitation?
The best way to feel it in the hips is to drive the knees out as you ascend, squeezing the glutes movement, this eliminates pretty much all lower back pull feel, having the feet slightly outwards according to your hip socket anatomy is key too
If done Properly you should almost feel nothing in your back, Should just feel in your glutes and hamstrings.😊😊
@@stevenlake5278it depends on your core stability
Excellent
lolll @ 4:59 DOMs. love the clip

I feel single leg kettlebell RDL in my hamstring more than anything else
I always wondered where the name ,deadlift‘ comes from
Davis Gary Jackson Sarah Jones Laura
What’s the most important muscle group for sprinting?
I'm not sure if only 1 muscle can be listed as the most important.
What is the different between RDL and GOOD MORNING ?
The bar is on your shoulders/upper back for good mornings.

What about right side ql pain only during right leg b stance rdls??
