Him : can’t feel hamstrings
Me : feels my hamstrings about to rip with no weight
You needa stretch
@@DanTheDudeIsHere tell him Dan!
Aaron definitely up my game and knowledge about the importance of mobility training. Something that is so easily overlooked.
I don't feel my hamstring when doing dead lifts but they're always sore the day after
Get spicy lotion
Wow this is a must since I'm also not feeling my hamstring during RDL
Same here. I can’t wait to try this.
This channel psychic I swear. I had the exact problem today with RDL'S. Not to mention the other numerous occasions where I have had a minor problem and squat university's shorts come up and it's exactly what I need?!?
I too cant particularly feel it during the workout. But the next 3 days I cant bend over from having such sore hammies.
''Holly molly'' 🤣🤣
I don't feel my hamstrings either but once I finish the set I definitely feel it especially the next day
Same. They're a sneaky one!
Don’t have to feel muscles to know their working
@@OMAR-vk9pi what haha
@@hernanmurillo8925 read it again
My physio recommended this tip a couple years ago, it was a game changer for me. Glad to see this info for free on UA-cam.
Are you serious. I have been doing them wrong for so long. Thanks for the enlightening Squat U
I found myself rushing through my deadlifts and my knees starting to hurt.
So I now use a band around my knees and focus on pushing out my knees and rooting my feet.
Game changer!
I'm confused. I wish there was a side by side comparison of form before and after during the lift
Exactly these UA-cam shorts suck
I absolutely love your Channel and your shorts! It helped me ALOT with my training and health. Much love to you! 😄
I literally just tried this with no weight and I feel my hamstrings wayy more, thank you so much I'm gonna try this tomorrow
You just explained what I figured out one workout last year. Then the next workout I couldn’t duplicate it bc I really didn’t know what I was doing differently to make it all hams lol I pinned it down but still couldn’t explain the change in form until now
Needed to see this
Ayo 🤔
Interesting. Will. Apply this when doing deadlifts next time, as I often fail to feel them hammies suffering.
A trick is to think of the RDL as a push with your feet, instead of as a pull with back.
Where have we heard this before? Oh yeah, literally everywhere
@@Jb67912this the first time I've heard this advice
@@Krythulu same and I've been lifting for like 6.5 years lol
Thanks man, in my first two sets I could barely feel my hamstrings and thought I was doing something wrong, now I can feel my hamstrings really working
I have the same problem! I can’t wait to try this.
Great stuff man you’re my favorite fitness creator
Again, Thank you SU!
I have never felt Hamstrings when doing rdls and have had so many tips given but this is the only one that i ever really felt
Much appreciation dude.
Wow!!! Thank you! This helped me so much!
Tf... Is this why I couldn't feel my hamstring... Am gonna try this out
I can always feel them in the stretched position but never when i back up or in the contraction part of the movement
The best tip I have ever heard. Just tried the movement with the adjustment and holly molly is right. I had the same issue but now it is gone just like that. Can't wait to add the weight. Thanks so much.
I will definitly try this. I also dont feel rdl nor regular deadlifts in my hammies but when you see it it looks like perfect form. So i could never understand what i did wrong.
Same. I always performed this exercise with perfect form as well. Even kept increasing the weight and I could never understand why It wasn't working. Got frustrated at times and thought it was pointless. Up until I found this video a few days ago haha. When you implement what he says in the video it activates the whole lower posterior chain, especially your hamstrings. You can really fire them up and keep the increased weight. I've learned that slowing down my reps and slightly shortening the rom helps, too.
THANK YOU. I can feel my hamstrings now
Content never fails
I never feel my hams while doing RDLs, but I do while doing Good Mornings. So I might want to try this.
thank you
That’s why I need a coach
I feel dumb because I still sorta don’t understand how to do it effectively.
Keep trying. If you fail or don't get it try again.
Everyone is built a little differently, so you just gotta play around with foot and knee positions, see which positions hits your hammies the best.
He was essentially just telling him to push his feet into the floor and away from him, pushing his knees out a little and opening his hips up, but that's not necessary for everyone. Just gotta learn to engage your hamstrings by themselves, the glutes will follow.
Thats ok bro really try just planting your feet and mimic the movement while feeling your hamstring and when there activitating
Try pointing your knees outwards without moving your feet.
Push your feet into the ground and pretend like you're screwing them into the ground like a drill
Damn, I felt this too!!!
Thank you
“..when viewing from the back..”
Oh I’m viewing alright 👀👀 lmao
You are by far the best!!!! 👏🏾👏🏾🙏🏾
Wow thank you
Holly Molly, this shit heavier than I thought!
I tried this on my squats. Hot damn. My hips are more stable, no more knee pain and feel my quads that I wasn't feeling 😮. Now let's try this tips on Romanians deads😊
I did not understand it.
This man’s videos are single-handedly undoing the terrible programming I learned from poorly taught pilates and college kinesiology fitness courses on “maintaining correct positioning and alignment” during movement. We are DYNAMIC BEINGS designed to do dynamic movements! I had good posture, alignment and movement patterns before leaving my own judgment for others so-called “research-based” techniques.
I am a college rower. I have a very similar problem with an inability to feel my hamstrings or glutes in any exercise focused on that
I feel Rdls in my groin area 🤔
Do you do any hip mobility training or strength training,for,the groin area, such as sumo squats or weighted butterflys? Idk if it'd help anything but it could be related
I still can't feel any tension in either of my hamstrings at all. 100% in my lower back
I found that you need to work on your core beforehand. Ive been doing them for a couple of weeks now and i havent messed up my back when doing rdl. Also your form might be a problem too.
I can finally feel my hamstrings being worked out
I tend to keep my legs completely straight doing RDL’s, it’s like a stiff legged deadlift RDL, feels great, keeping my legs bent makes me feel like I’m doing a partial deadlift, not as optimal for me
Can u make a video for shoulder grinding and cracking in bench press position ,when i rotate shoulder in that position feel like my bones grinding on my tendons ,pls make a video for that
I usually feel it next day!!!
Personally I would get them to do a good morning Nordic curl and feel that muscle and then get them on the RDL
he felt those the next day lol
When I do RDL's all I feel are my hamstrings....................for days!!
You are doing God’s work, sir
I naturally do this, my knees goes outward when hinge. Trainers say i am doing it wrong.
Because you are, hinge is an internal torque movement pattern
@@matriaxpunk ok
Did anybody understand the jargon? Because i didnt. "Open your hips. External rotation torque." I'm being polite yet serious are we just expected to know what this means..?
I would have to told him to not bend at the knee so much and think about driving the knees back whilst going through the movement, because to me he looks like hes bending at the knees to much therefore taking the tension off the muscle.
Also I'm not discrediting you, I'm just adding my two cents. I actually agree with what you are saying about the foot position and mental cues. Keep bring the people knowledge and continue the great work.
yea i did
Would the resistance band around the shin help with this like it does when doing squats?
Would the resistance band around the shin help with this like it helps with squats?
I can never feel my glutes working in an DRL and I don't feel like I am thrusting the weight forward.
Same with the deadlift, it's all legs and back
My one leg is about one inch longer than the other one (the difference is mostly from the lower part of the leg being shorter) got any tips on how to do movements where both legs are needed, so that my left leg doesn’t “miss out”
I barely feel hamstrings when doing RDLs, but when I do split stance RDLs, it’s whole different story
Split stance is the way to go for me. Much easier on the lower back!
why do i see this 3 hours after i finished my workout :(
I have a question, how do I buy foot shaped shoes?
I'll try this next time I go to the gym. I can practice the motion and feel it in my hamstrings. However, when I use a bar, I can feel it on the first one, and then I can't feel it anymore except in my back which I know is wrong.
I'm the same. I feel armstrings only when doing it without weights.
Why do my left side of the lower back hurts while doing RDLs?
sometimes i wish these videoes were less technical speak and more simple
Hi i cant feel my left hamstrings, while my right is always sore. I tried uni exercises but its still same
I honestly see no difference between either.
Can't feel it much except at the very bottom. Is that it?
I don't know why but during the end part of the rdl it hits my balls.
Is there any way to solve the problem 😢
Literally just did this and it’s a word of a differnce
Explanation of how to RDL better..
Narrator: word salad
Gym bro: twist knees outward
that's (almost) external rotation
Thanks because I still didn't understand what he changed. 😅
@@christinamoffett7684 my thoughts exactly Christina!
I fully understood this video.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Get on the plane
Can someone explain me what "root your feet and open your hip means ?"
The trick explained here is to externally rotate your knees during the movement, right ?
it's about the hip but the queue of knee opening works aswell.
try to rotate your femur (thigh bone) to the outside.
I can’t feel them. I’ve watched every damn tutorial. Slowed down my reps and focused on form 100%
All I feel is lower back.
Please help 😢😢
On the way up try to focus on pulling weight with hams. If you cant, try pre-pumping them to improve muscle connection
There’s a much easier cue for this: just push your knees back during the lift.
I hope you don't mean locking in your knees? Doing so will definitely damage your knees if you go with heavy weights.
@@BlijfEric ah yes, the “locking your knees is dangerous” myth that won’t die. Nevermind that people do it every time they squat. Also you’re not gonna even be capable of fully locking your knees while hip hinging. Mike Israetel was just yelling this same cue over and over to Eugene Teo when they trained legs together and he said it was the best RDL’s have ever felt for him afterward. Stop fearmongering
@@DanielDurham121 they don't while squatting. What are you on about. Obviously you cán lock in your knees, if they are conditioned for the weight. If you gradually build up weight with this form and continue to lift pain-free in your knees then sure. But a lot of people already get knee pain by squatting. Even better; following the ATG program by kneesovertoes. I'm not fearmongering, but you are giving advice that isn't applicable to everyone who might read your comment. If a dude in the gym starts locking in knees when he's already at a 120kg squat or 100kg RDL it most likely isn't very beneficial. Even worse, a high weight leg press... Easy is not always better. The video suggested a good working tip, why make it "easy" whilst increasing chances of injury of random people?
@@BlijfEric You really have NO CLUE what you’re talking about here. You WILL NOT BE ABLE TO FULLY STRAIGHTEN YOUR LEGS DURING AN RDL. Go try. You must not understand anatomy. The “knees back” cue places more of the load on the hamstrings instead of glutes and lower back. That’s it. Also, the load isn’t even on the knee joint during an RDL so why the fuck would locking knees be problematic even if you could?
Again, Mike Israetel uses this cue all the time and he’s quite literally an exercise physiology genius.
@@DanielDurham121 you don't even read, lol. I checked a video of him and I immediately hear him say "you don't want to lock out, just shy of lock out". Many people have knee issues, and locking out doesn't do any good. Do you want to stretch your legs as much as possible? Yeah. I never denied that. Do you want to lock out, as I suggested you meant, no. Not at all, especially if you haven't done any knee strengthening with programs like ATG.
Can we do this for dumbbell rdl too?
Yes the same concept applies to dumbbells as well because the leg position is the same for both exercises
interesting
I can’t feel hamstrings with leg curls. Rdl… I’m dead for two days. Bodies are amazing and weird.
It’s funny you say that because I’m the exact opposite lol
But eugene teo said to not pronate to feel it more. Which one is right?
I know bro its so complicated now
I’m confused with RDLs. Are we supposed to feel it in our glutes or hamstrings? I usually feel it in my hamstrings but been seeing that I should be feeling it in my glutes. SOS 😩
Romanian Deadlift and Stiffed Legged Deadlift = Mostly Hamstrings, Lower Back
Normal Deadlift and Sumo Deadlift = Mostly Glutes, Lower Back
Just switch them out with sldls instead. Same muscles used, same hip hinge movement, different exercise
RDLs make my hamstrings tight. It's it OK to continue doing them?
just stretch between sets and after the workout
And what does that mean in English ?
Normally he does a phenomenal job breaking these issues down. This one didn’t really give us much.
I still feel nothing😢
Dumbbells problem solved 😏
But the hinge is an internal torque movement, not external. He should create internal torque, not external.
do some sprints, i pull mine everytime i think of extending my hip flexor
WHY IS IT CALLED ROMANIAN???
"Feel the RDL or tear a hamstring trying"
Stop. You sound like you’ve never worked out. Don’t forget your bubble wrap when going outside
What's more superior traditional deadlift or RDL.?
Traditional
both
Both are great.
It's very goal dependent.
Deadlifts for general strength, RDLs for glute/ham hypertrophy. Neither are superior, it's just a difference in how much they isolate the muscles
Could u repeat that I was focused on the cake 🎂
Hes comimg all the way up which isnt ideal
Doesn’t feel em cause his range of motion is trash
RDL's are the most pointless, overrated excercise.
you have small hamstrings lil bro
stop doing rdls then… do seated hamstring curls instead
Since the hamstrings attach on the pelvis they can’t use their full potential unless the hips are able to extend so a seated leg curl can’t only do so much whereas an RDL allows the muscles to work more of its full range
1 exercise per muscle group isn’t enough...
Fake news
You told him to do what? Can never understand the fix it’s always too technical
Instead of angling your knees towards each other, angle them slightly out. To understand what an open hip feels compared to a closed hip, lift your leg at the knee (like you’re kneeing someone), and then bring it to the side. That’s what an open hip feels like. He’s saying when you do your rdl your hips should feel more open rather than closed
