    Honestly love these! Have struggled with barbell traditional deadlifts, sumos, RDLs etc and never felt comfortable doing any of them because of my super long femurs but RDLs with dumbbells are amazing because I can control where the dumbbells travel without making my lower back uncomfortable or scraping my knees. Perfect for people with long femurs to make progress consistently 👌

      @j2fit  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      That’s great to hear. If you have access to a lying hamstring curl machine, that’s also a gray way to get a ton of hamstring growth with minimal chance of lower back . I like doing 2-3 warm up set of 10-15, and then 2-3 hard sets of 8-10.. then go into RDL

      Try to keep legs straight as long as possible but then as you get lower towards the bottom of shin your leg would bend automatically Ann’s you’ll feel a pull in hamstring. Avoid bending knee early. Uf your doung ot loke that your sweet

    • @gmcmim1
      @gmcmim1 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Echo, the trick is to bend the rump first. Then as you go down and feeling the stretch of the hamstrings bend the knees as well. But don't bring them forward like you're doing a squat. If you feel no stretch in the hamstrings you're doing it wrong. That's the best way to describe it. It's called a deadlift for a reason. Anyone saying keep your knees straight as possible doesn't know what they're talking about. The knees need to be bent to support you in coming back up. Don't want to strain the back. Let's put it this way when people are doing barbell lifts they squat butt first then bend the knees as well then use them to come right back up. Now those are full bends of the knee. With dead lifts it's a slight bend. I really hope you understand.

      @juhgfdsapiyhhnnxc3517 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      There is straight legged dead’s though. That’s usually a barbell. I still bend the knees. Total straight feels bad. Get a bar and put 185 and go slow and feel the stretch.

    • @j2fit
      @j2fit  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      difficult to squeeze your glutes (contract them, shorten the muscle fibers) when you are lowing the load (muscles are being lengthened). I agree with the focus here, just be sure to control the load throughout.

      RDL is more hamstring biases, less knee bend (shins stay vertical at bottom of movement, you should feel nasty stretch in hamstrings). Deadlift, while it also trains hamstrings, allows knees to bend more (shins slightly more forward at bottom), feel little quad loading in bottom position. i like RDL for building bigger hamstrings, but Ill also add deadlifts too (more glutes i feel)

      @j2fit  8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Choose a weight that is challenging for 10-15 reps (I’d train in that rep range). If you don’t have heavy enough DB, then I would choose a barbell RDL to get adequate loading (or train 20-30 reps, but if weight is still to light w that high rep range.. then you need heavier weights. That is a limitation of DBS

    • @nadapenny8592
      @nadapenny8592 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      More potassium and more water! Eat one or two apples on days you work out, and hydrate before working out - I'm not saying a whole gallon, but drink plenty more water than you normally would. Also when you stretch, consciously engage your glutes. It sounds like you're getting a muscle "knot", possibly resulting from uneven distribution of the electrochemical signals that contract and relax muscles. All three of those over the course of a week or two should help.

    What is the difference between a Dumbbell Deadlift and this Romanian one? I've seen so many videos and tutorials and I honestly can't tell the difference

    • @j2fit
      @j2fit  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      RDL and deadlift are two differnet movemetns. the dumbbell is the implement. A deadlift you bend knees more, RDL you have less knee bend and bias the movement to use more hamstrings.
      So, you can have a dumbbell deadlift vs dumbbell rdl. the rdl has less knee bend, more emphasis on hamstrings and glutes, where was deadlift the knees bend slightly more (how much.. maybe shins can more forward past vertical some in bottom).
      RDL i generally like to keep my shins vertical at the bottom (full stretched position), so i think bout pulling knees back as I lower, bend at the hips. knees stay above ankles.

      Stretching doesn’t make it stronger, but adding load and training in the full range of motion creates a lot of tension and stress, which grows the muscle.

      It’s all relative. As heavy as you can with prefect form and slowly lowering weights 3-4 seconds.

    This is a dangerous video. If you can't touch your toes with a flat palm you need to concentrate on slowly stretching the tendons and ligaments in your legs. The Romanian lift is a great exercise, but this instructor is putting all of his torque force into his lower back

    Don't squeeze the glutes at the top.
    You want to keep tension in your hamstring the whole time.
    Glutes activate the most at the bottom range, not the top.

    • @duonganhquan6273
      @duonganhquan6273 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Squeezing at the top does nothing except taking the tension away from the hamstring and for some people, potentially cueing them to over-extend their back. The weight does not create any resistance here.

      Form is more important with this that anything so always start light. If you do these wrong you fuck up your lower back while not getting glute activation. I worked my way up to 75lb dumbells after about a year. I started with 25s and I was sore ass shit for a couple months. Use progressive overload but make sure form is on point

    • @j2fit
      @j2fit  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      try doing without weight first, lean how to bend at the hips and control the lower back. If you can do this without weight, add weight and only go as heavy as you can without losing back position. if you cant do it without weight properly, then try holding a plate with both arms (hug the plate) and do this movement to learn how to hinge.
