oh snap looks like the competition is heating up, good lifts dude.
This is really sad but I still don’t actually know what RDLs are.
Romanian Deadlifts
its the same as a deadlift except you dont bend your legs. you usually dont start it off the ground either, at least i dont.
theyre used to emphasize the hamstring but i wouldnt call them isolation because you get about the same involvement out of your back as you would with a conventional deadlift. however they obviously arent a replace for deadlifts because you have to generally use a significantly lower weight; well usually ~50-60 pounds lighter.
Remarkably, this thread is seriously lacking video.
who takes a camera with them to the gym and is like hey, will you tape me? i gotta prove something to those guys on the internet.
Usually the only ones who can actually lift the weights that they say they can to those guys on the Internets.
This fucking debate? People aren’t even posting unrealistic numbers.

I still wouldn’t bring a cam to the gym. I’d just start to laugh while my friends were taping me to be honest.
my max lifts…success and failures are on youtube.
dl 137.5 kgs last night for one. fucked me up a treat though. least i broke the 300 pound mark finally though.
fucking well chuffed today.

i know right. if some 140 pound kid is like yeah i benched 315x6 ill call b.s. but theres nothing brow raising about this.
Here is a link to me failing the second rep of a touch and go deadlift.
I didn’t think the guy meant it as people are putting up retarded numbers, but any good PR thread has multimedia. At least that’s what I took it as.
I just hit my PR on bench today: 300 lbs. I know that’s now huge number or anything, but I’ve wanted to get there for a long time. Plus I’m old, so give me a break. I posted it on Youtube to share with friends. Forms sucks - ass off bench and little bit of a bounce, but I’m still happy.

dude that was 405 not 455. 455 = 4plates + 1 25
idk maybe youre right about the other, but i didnt get that tone.

300 isnt a bad bench at all man. youre probaly one of only a handful of guys at your gym who can bench it, of course theres probaly 20 guys who unrack it, bring it down 2 inches then call it a bench

25s are invisible thanks to angle.

oooh. i guess ill take your word, cause i watched it twice and kept looking like where the hell is the 25?
455 is good though. i hate doing singles/doubles but the last time i did a double it was 405.
if i keep progressing with my lifts i should be doing those for reps (405) soon. im hitting 385x5 (at least) next Tuesday. ill move to 405 when i hite 6 or 7 reps @385
Yea that’s about the same strength I was at when I moved to 405.
Also I have a vid of 405x3 and you can compare the effort to the 455 and it should be very clear which is which 
i like doing Deads in the moderate ranges. its like you do a couple and then you get anabolic super-powers and it helps you get the rest out.
that and i noticed playing good music like deathmetal type shit, helps.
i never really listen to headphones when i lift but then i put on Dig by Mudvayne and smashed through my old numbers, probaly scared some people too. which is one of my subgoals.
i remember we were doing this PT training thing at Bally’s and we got in pairs and trained each other for a session. i was doing RDL’s, i didnt do a warmup walked up to 305 did it x6. then i was all amped up like “thats what i do this for, i want small children to run and cry when they see me walking down the street.”
