Why!!! Whyyy?/!! I can’t feel my hamstrings in deadlifts, rack pulls, or rdl’s. What am I doing wrong? Is it possible I’m not using enough weight to cause the hamstrings to have to work during rack pulls or rdl’s? Is my deadlift form crap? I’m fed up. I need advice!!! The only time I feel my h…

The only deadlift variation where I can actually feel my hamstrings working is a zercher grip Romanian deadlift. If I had to guess I would say it was due to the increased anterior core activation from the zercher grip helping me keep a more neutral spine, thus loading the hamstrings more so than the…

[image] strongmangoals: Do deficit stiff leg deadlifts. Its odd how these have been forgotten… especially for the hamstrings

I’m just gonna chime in my .02 again and say do some hamstring isolation exercises like the ham-tractor, lying leg curls, standing leg curls, etc., if the goal is to establish a better connection with the hamstrings and “feel” them more. You will be able to apply your better connection during those …

Thanks for the feedback. What is your opinion on deadlifts? Do you believe they 're more of a back exercise like many people believe or do you think they really do hit hams as good as any exercise even if the ‘feel’ isn’t there? I wish my gym(s) had glute ham raises and standing leg curls. Lyi…

[image] JohnnyUtah: I’m a big strong guy but my ham’s are weak. ok, you really need a reality check here. You’re not strong, just big. Your bench isn’t terrible, but your max deadlift is. At your size, you should be deadlifting 600+ to be considered strong. There are lots of ways to grow …

I didn’t mean strong on the big 3 necessarily I just meant in general. I def won’t be competing in any strong man contest. When deadlifting I always get discouraged because I can never tell which muscle(s) I’m working. It’s seems like it’s a situation where the body just does what it has to in…

At 6ft tall 275lb and roughly 30-33% bf is it possible to lose fat and get stronger in these lifts (deadlift/deadlift variations)? I desperately want to get stronger but a priority right now is to lose body fat. My strength sucks but I’m scared to lose strength on whats already a very weak base…

Deadlifts are great for building overall size and strength everywhere, I’d classify them more of a full body exercise rather than “back” or “hamstrings.” Personally, the heavier I lift, the less I “feel” a certain muscle. The feel comes from the pump, lactic acid and a strong mental connection with…

Thanks for the feed back. I need direct answers for my mental sanity.

What are peoples opinion on full body workouts? Frequency? Many people say deadlifting more than once a week is a big no-no for fear of overtraining but some well respected coaches say higher frequency is the way to go. AND Whats the best way to build grip strength for deadlifts? I like prona…
