@@Harry-hd6wn yes ! Mine were muscular imbalance related, You should check out Squat university's videos on tight hips (especially those that focus on improving internal hip rotation)
That's like expecting your biceps to be as strong as your quads. Sure grip strength is underrated and often overlooked, but once you hit a certain kg, grip strength suddenly disappears out the window
I guess so, but would you not be better off just letting the rdls focus on the hamstrings glutes and lower back and then train your grip strength directly
If u want more grip strength then isolate your grip strength with another workout and focus on your lower body with this so it all gets a solid workout
I get a lot of value out of these videos, thank you. 💪🏼 As someone with connective tissue challenges, proper form and technique is crucial to avoid injury.
Mate. Stop immediately. It's because you're arching your back. And you can get some nasty injury because of that. You might not "feel" like you're arching, but trust me - you are. Try filming yourself from the side or watching yourself in the mirror from the side and you'll immediately notice that your back arches after a few reps. Form > weight. Focus on your form at all costs. I had the same issue when I started lifting roughly 8 years ago. I still remember that nasty back pain.
@@Shining_Light thanks man. I believe I do have straight back. I even engage my lats first now which helps avoid upper back injuries but lower back still hurts. I love deadlifts but only perform them like every 3 months or so.
Same bro except thursday its kinda annoying. Got bicep tendonitis so i cant even do upper body. So bummed out wish i wasnt so sore. Spent the past two days doing active rest foam rolling walking stretching etc and still so sore. Probably gonna go in and deadlift anyways i cant stay home lol
@@Andrew-iq5ud yeah I'm also dealing with injury. ACL tear in january, now I am almost recovered but I have pattelar tendonitis in my non operated leg. So annoying 😢
Sorry about the ACL bro thats devastating. Ive dealt with patellar tendonitis alot and what permanently fixed it for me was backward sled drags. Load up 200 lbs and drag it backwards using your quads. Fixed my tendonitis and knee clicking. I do these every leg day its a staple of my workouts now
Rdl is insane especially for people who aren’t as flexible if u can feel the stretch ur muscle growth is going to explode and ull feel sore for days after with 1 or 2 sets
Wouldn’t recommend straps unless you want to add exercises for forearms. Your grip strength will enhance your strength in anything you grip. Press or pull.
Having had a disc herniation in the past, I can't do RDLs without my disc issues flaring up with a vengeance. I like to do split squats with an extremely staggered stance so I can get that deep stretch in the hamstrings and glutes while keeping my back upright and the load off my spine.
Iv slipped a couple discs in my time which led me down a big rehab path ,you want to strengthen glutes hip flexors low back and hamstrings even after I had healed from my slipped disc body weight rdls helped me open the hip and stretch the glutes which allowed me more range of motion it will take time but don’t shortcut it
The first time i do dead lift and squad with barebel on my shoulder, the next day, whole body is sore for 3 days, numb, hard to bow. but the pain now are paid.
I could never get hams stimulus with RDLs, instead I do that curl where you get on your knees and let yourself drop while holding the weight with the hams, forgot the name I think it's Nordic curls, and it's the best stimulus I ever got on hamstrings
Went swimming the day after RDLs. Could barely walk, couldn't swim without cramping and sinking to the bottom of the pool while interally whaling in comical relief as it passed.
I do workout twice a week, due to my work schedules, so I kinda divide my workout into push and pull day. Push day I'd start with squats while pull day I'll start with deadlifts. Boy when I tell you just by doing these two exercises, I am halfway fatigued to continue with the rest of my workouts 💀
I switched from Rdl/sldl to the hamstring curl machine to hit them and haven't looked back. My leg days already start with me getting gassed by squatting heavy, so I just need the isolated hit more than anything.
Nothing wrong with isolated hamstring work but it’s best not to avoid the basic movement patterns (horizontal press and pull, vertical press and pull, squat, and hinge).
Don’t look up like him when deadlifting. Keep your head in line with your back aka look at the floor at the bottom of the rep. Also your thumbs should rub the outside of your leg if pulling traditional
Hi Daniel. I know that isn't the subject related to the video, but I always wonder where do you get these tank tops you usually wearing in your videos.
The body is more resilient and robust than you think. Ironically avoiding certain exercises might even increase your risk of injury. By slowly getting comfortable with the movement you can safely start doing deadlifts. I encourage you to try it because you will feel so mich better and stronger and daily activities will be easier to do👍
Yeah, that fear is unfounded so long as you use proper form. The deadlift is the most basic and natural movement; it's clear that it needs to be performed in order to attain and retain an ideally healthy body. So long as you are keeping a tight abdominal area (think of your lungs inhaling and inflating a big round balloon inside your stomach), engaging your lats (pulling your elbows down and back using your back muscles) before attempting to pull the bar off the floor, keeping your head facing forward and even slightly upwards if you like, and not choosing too much weight to lift, you will not only be fine, but fantastic in the long run. If unsure of how much weight to start with, just use the bar to perfect your form and add 10 pounds at a time to feel it out. Thank me later.
I could naturally deadlift 3 plates from more or less day one and before long i pulled my lower back - what i should have done was start lighter to develop my tendons ligaments and stabiliser muscles along with my form first.. i did that second time around and now i can deadlift 5 plates comfortably and never feel like i'm in any danger of strains or pulls. They're one of the most, if not the most important lifts for overall strength and growth so don't be afraid of them just start light and take your time to learn the movement cues.
The random hate for straps always cracks me up. Train your grip outside of regular lifting. There’s no sense to limit the stimulus for lower body and back training due to your ego thinking straps are cheating.
I like straight leg deadlifts and going slow on the way down Regular deadlifters that drop the weights are missing an opportunity thats worth more than your middling instagram PR's
Grip should be a limiting factor. That's the body's inbuilt safety mechanism. And there's no point in being able to lift a weight that you can't hold onto, since that's not functional strength.
Taxing your entire body for just grip is complete nonsense training advice. If your grip is the limiting factor, what happens is that you get a mediocre workout for your grip, a bad workout for your legs and back, all while you've just taxed your central nervous system and prime mover muscles so that they need to recover for the next session.

Squat + romanian dead lift to cover literally all the lower body muscles is so underrated.
Missing calves tho
@@cristian0523we dont worry about those
@@LynchtheFinchExactly

RDL is superior to regular deadlift for hypertrophy. One of my favourite exercises
Do both
@@nihalbhamrah4726 I only want to deadlift once a week. It's a taxing exercise. I choose RDL
I do 3 set of deadlift and 3 set RDL on same day, is that ok?
Great Boy just do 3 sets of RDLs and then 3 sets of Seated Leg Curls for more hamstring
@@greatboy95 nah deadlift on back day and rdl on leg day
I had inward knees caused by weak glutes and hip flexors. Romanian DL fixed most of the issue within a year or so. Would recommend 👍
Thanks
Do you mean knock knees? If so, I've had these all my life and would love to fix them.
@@Harry-hd6wn yes ! Mine were muscular imbalance related, You should check out Squat university's videos on tight hips (especially those that focus on improving internal hip rotation)
And as the great gym warrior Anatoly would say…..”Don’t forget to squeeze at the top”
-Anatoly 💪🏾
May I clean here?
@@johneroyalehehe! 😂
Every coach and source I looked up say no point squeezing at the top.
Squeezing at the top does absolutely nothing to increase your gains
Front Squats + RDLs are the goat leg exercise combo
Nothing like deadlifts to produce both maximum dread before a workout but maximum satisfaction afterwards.
i never used straps because all that extra grip strength and endurance gives you a massive boost in calisthenics
I mean that's cool and I used to do that but once you start deadlifting more than your bodyweight it's pretty hard for your grip strength to catch up.
That's like expecting your biceps to be as strong as your quads.
Sure grip strength is underrated and often overlooked, but once you hit a certain kg, grip strength suddenly disappears out the window
@Matt_Nor not to mention, if you're doing calisthenics, you're getting plenty of grips/forearm work already.
I guess so, but would you not be better off just letting the rdls focus on the hamstrings glutes and lower back and then train your grip strength directly
If u want more grip strength then isolate your grip strength with another workout and focus on your lower body with this so it all gets a solid workout
gotta love how Daniel is one of the only few calisthenics athletes that train their legs as well 🛐
Deadlifts is life!❤
Love the videos brotha, talking non-chilant all calm no reason to yell 🔥 new subscriber
Probably my favourite strength exercise by a long way
I love RDL’s. Though I hate doing regular deadlifts
I'm currently working out at home. The only leg exercises I do at home are Bulgarian SS, RDLs, and calf raises. Definitely gets the job done.
I love doing RDLs on the cable. I'd never skip it.
I do these for upper back thickness. Insane how much this lift can do
I’m going to add these to my workouts
Great tips.
I get a lot of value out of these videos, thank you. 💪🏼
As someone with connective tissue challenges, proper form and technique is crucial to avoid injury.
Man I love your stuff.
RDL’s are a top 5 exercise.
Top 5 for all body parts.
Injures my back literally every time. Will have to pass lol
I really love the trap-bar deadlift as it so much more natural.
Love deadlifts but always suffer severe lower back pain for weeks after 😢
Start with low weight. Correct your form.

Let your muscles rest bro train anything but what's sore right now. Overworking kills gains@@Andrew-iq5ud
🤣 same here ! I started with single leg rdls then a few normal rdls it’s Sunday and each day keeps getting worse 😅
Those versa grips tho 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I do them with dumbbells, sometimes I have to do them unilaterally because my left side sometimes tends to get more of the exercise than my right

I learned to place at the end part of my workout session which works great for me
Never doing clasic deadlift but only RDL for hamms and lower back and love them
Excellent❤

You could try Nordic curls.
I do nordics. They're not a replacement for deadlifts, albeit a great hamstring exercise.
Is there an example video of your recommended split squat style?
Any Bulgarian Split Squat video should do.
The first time i do dead lift and squad with barebel on my shoulder, the next day, whole body is sore for 3 days, numb, hard to bow. but the pain now are paid.
I have a disc herniation to be honest if i DO deadlift... its the high rack deadlift as its way less taxing in my opinion.
I could never get hams stimulus with RDLs, instead I do that curl where you get on your knees and let yourself drop while holding the weight with the hams, forgot the name I think it's Nordic curls, and it's the best stimulus I ever got on hamstrings
Did 20 reps at 100kg the other day, absolutely killed me
If I just do these and don’t do hamstring curls is that ok?
I like how he’s telling you that “you can’ go heavier without straps” I never needed straps for heavier sets….
Went swimming the day after RDLs. Could barely walk, couldn't swim without cramping and sinking to the bottom of the pool while interally whaling in comical relief as it passed.
Safe to do with back problems? Scoliosis and l5s1 disc
Never have 'soreness' just 'nice' pain.😅
I’d argue Squats are more exhausting than Deadlifts
If someone has spondylolisis, is it safe doing this exercise ?
If only I had this info back when I was a gym bro, I could’ve avoided being “gym broken” 😂
I do workout twice a week, due to my work schedules, so I kinda divide my workout into push and pull day. Push day I'd start with squats while pull day I'll start with deadlifts.

What’s the difference between Romanian deadlifts and rack pulls??
I've never done dead lifts in my life, and I go to the gym for like 20 yrs
Why?
Did Stiff Legged Deadlift on Tuesday, still sore
This exercise is the one I fear the most
What about live lifts? 👀
Me younger with 75 kg lofting deadlift 170 kg
Did anyone else notice the movement of his right foot?
"the average person wants shortcuts. You deadlift" should be on a shirt
I switched from Rdl/sldl to the hamstring curl machine to hit them and haven't looked back. My leg days already start with me getting gassed by squatting heavy, so I just need the isolated hit more than anything.
What lower back work are you getting?
@@rampagesmackssons508 I'd say mostly from rows, and then a little bit from bench and ohp. All in all it's not a huge focus of mine though.
Nothing wrong with isolated hamstring work but it’s best not to avoid the basic movement patterns (horizontal press and pull, vertical press and pull, squat, and hinge).
Genuine question: I feel like the back was arched a little too much, no? It didn’t look totally neutral to me.
I'd rather skip them due to lower back issues
what is hip hinge...anterior or posterior pelvic tilt?
I have issue with getting the form right. Hip hinging seems to be hard to get right.
Any tips
Wait till Mario Rios gets his hands on this
How many reps?
Abs hurt more
Th thumbnail dude?
Any RDL replacement out there with bodyweight, kettlebells or dumbbells?
The RDL can be performed with dumbbells. If you don't have heavy enough weights, you can try the one-legged version
If you have heavy dumbbells, they can replace the barbell version. If you can't load them heavily, do single leg version.
@@AS-Stardust that's literally my comment but paraphrased :'(

Well dude, it's certainly is working for those glutes.
Got low back hernia several times doing heavy rows or deadlifts. Pass

Does anyone know if your RDL should be heavier than your deadlift (given proper technique of both)?
Deadlift should be way heavier. Uses all RDL muscles and more.
@@adi96adi+1
If your RDL is heavier than your deadlift you are doing it wrong. You should be weaker in RDL's and stronger on deadlifts.

Lower back, disc issues. Deadlifts seem like a bad idea, idk

You forgot to say "sumo is cheating"
I know so many people that have destroyed their backs from this. Probably from incorrect form of course
Yeah the RDL can be tricky. Most people don’t know how to perform a proper hinge.
DL is a shortcut for lazy people. I wrestle with bears for maintaining my physique.
I thought that you only did calisthenics for your physique.

Work on your grip strength and don’t use straps.
Your grip will never be stronger than your posterior chain.
You don't always need to strap up but it is needed at times
The random hate for straps always cracks me up. Train your grip outside of regular lifting. There’s no sense to limit the stimulus for lower body and back training due to your ego thinking straps are cheating.
