Reminder that if all of these aren't part of your weightlifting regime than you're a DYEL gay.
Been doing them for 4 years, no injuries. Just do 3-5 reps and don't do retarded egolift 1RM's.
There's literally no excuse.
>inb4 le deadlifts give you nothing
ok pussy don't go outside if it's too windy your spine might break
>no wide grip pullups
Magi beetus man spotted
>>no wide grip pullups
even better than chin-ups, but if you don't even do chin-ups than again you're a DYEL gay
pull ups are waaaaaay easier than chin ups
Yeah so do pull-ups, good, I said they were harder.
They're similar, but without RDL's you're asscheeks are NGMI.
You read wrong, I already do RDLs for Steel asscheeks, what do I need normal diddlies for?
>what do I need normal diddlies for?
Because you're simply a DYEL gay if you don't, also, mainly for your erector spinae.
Having a heavy DL that you can be proud of is also major confidence gainz, it's one of the main reasons why I do it.
RDLs hit my erector spinae better.
OHP is the undisputed ego lift, nothing like knowing you can pick someone over your shoulders
don't do DL's then, but also don't ever bring up going to the gym EVER if you're at a bar. if someone asks you what your DL PR is you're going to get humiliated.
I don't PR because I'm not a dyel, I don't need a number so people know I lift.
My RDL working weight is higher than any normie DL anyway
>what do I need normal diddlies for?
To be able to rip shit off the floor.
Otherwise not much point. RDL's are done at higher reps with control and pause at the bottom. Normal deadlifts are about speed and violence, with good technique and form ofc.
>good mornings
better ways to have a nice day kek

Why are they better than chinups?
better for lats. chinups activate biceps, which you probably get enough of anyway.
They're not better for lats. The chinups get a better rom and they both use your biceps. The only difference is the chinups use them in a more advantageous way allowing you to get more work done with your lats before you hit failure.
Pullups are actually worse for lats bc the humerus flares during the movement, plus you get less stretch on the lat because you're externally rotated on chinups but on pullups you're internally rotated. Chinups are actually *better* for lats than pullups, but pullups are better for upper back and brachioradialis.
agreed. This is why many consider pull-ups harder, since most don't train upper back or forearm/brachioradialis.
>This is why many consider pull-ups harder, since most don't train upper back or forearm/brachioradialis.
Definitely. From what I've heard some people who specialize in deadlifts actually end up being stronger on pullups than chinups, since their upper back ends up being so much stronger than their lats in many cases. So it goes both ways, it's just that this case is much rarer. Ideally your pullup and chinup would be very close in terms of strength, since that would mean that your upper back and lat strength are roughly equivalent.
Wide grip pullups hurt my elbows.
Why do deadlifts if I already do RDLs?
Also, why do chinups if I do pullups?
I almost never OHP because it makes my shoulders feel rusty and bench and close grip bench give you more than enough delt training.
Put curls in there and I’m game.
I don't even lift & not gonna do any of that lick my nuts lol
Based. RDL's are extra based, I feel like theyre giving me horse legs
I get why Romanians are on this list since so many people miss glute and hammy work, but I think good mornings + deadlifts are a more complimentary pairing than Romanians + deadlifts. Lower stimulus to fatigue, easier to program in with normal deadlifts, and I'd argue greater glute and hammy specificity.
I currently do
Mon Deadlift, leg curl
Wed RDL
Fri: Good morning
I do all of these except deadlifts.
I don't want to fuck up my back,
>1RM egolift
You're a DYEL if you think doing 1RMs is ego lifting
OK, name the benefits of doing 1RM's instead of just reps at 90-95% of your 1RM. Do they outweigh the risk of injuring yourself doing 1RM's?
>reps at 95%
kek, what is that, a double?
I'd say max effort 2-3RM's are actually riskier. That second or third rep is going to be a mega grinder which is where form deviation will happen the most. You can do clean singles at 95%, at least I can.

>my excuse
I feel like it.
>le deadlifts
Easier for me to control low back fatigue with rdl's. Again, maybe in a year I will integrate DL's instead.
>if you don't do my heckin favorite lifterino you're N G M I
Deadlifts are unnecessary if all you care about is hypertrophy. RDLs are the bodybuilder's deadlift, you don't need more than that.
>muh spinal erectors
RDLs hit those just fine
>muh traps and rhomboids
Rows hit those better
>muh glutes and hamstrings
RDLs are better for those
>muh quads
If you do deadlifts for quads you're a retard
>muh grip
Do grip isolation inbetween sets of RDLs (straps on RDLs obv). Easy
wow check out the scientist.
there's no substitution for being a fucking pussy. I do both normal and romanians
>there's no substitution for being a fucking pussy. I do both normal and romanians
The real pussy is the one doing a partial range of motion lift. I do my RDLs off of a huge deficit and with a wide grip, I literally go through 50% more ROM at the hip joint compared to conventional deadlifts.
>why
It's the only way I can get a stretch on my hamstrings anymore lmao
Oh great it's this retard again
Why don't you post those massive legs you've built off your meme exercise
>deadlifts are unnecessary for bodybuilding
You are a retard. Bodybuilders do deadlifts to build big thicc backs.
>Bodybuilders do deadlifts to build big thicc backs.
Okay. Tell me what back muscles the deadlift hits that can't be hit just as well with other exercises.
>lumbar erectors
RDLs, good mornings, high-bar back extensions
>thoracic erectors
Chest supported rows with thoracic flexion/extension (did these yesterday, they're great), front squats
>lats and teres major
Any vertical pull, rows (preferably lat biased). Deadlifts are very poor for lats unless you have super long arms anyway
>mid/lower traps and rhomboids
Rows
>upper traps
Rows, lateral raises, vertical presses, but if you want more of this you can do shrugs, power shrugs, rackpulls, etc.
>inb4 too many exercises!!!
Most of them overlap, you could just do RDLs instead of deadlifts and do more rowing volume somewhere else in the program, and that would take care of most of it.
Is big RDL paying you to shill their exercise? I like RDLs, I do deficit RDLs after deadlifts on my hamstring days. I have no problem with too much volume or too many exercises. Of course other exercises can work the same muscles as a deadlift, there is no one lift that can’t be replaced by others. I just never met someone who is anti deadlift with a bigger back than me.
>Is big RDL paying you to shill their exercise?
kek
>I just never met someone who is anti deadlift with a bigger back than me.
I'm not antideadlift in the sense that deadlifts can build your back/posterior chain just fine, and they won't snap you up as long as you use proper technique and load management. I'm just against the dogmatic retards who think that you NEED to deadlift otherwise you won't make any gains, because that just isn't true.
>I'm just against the dogmatic retards who think that you NEED to
not him but I suspect these posters just want a flame war about that one exercise.
>not him but I suspect these posters just want a flame war about that one exercise.
probably true tbh, you never see anyone with a more balanced take on them. People either say you're going to herniate 5 disks or claim that it's the greatest exercise ever and if you don't do them you're a 100lb dyel
Yeah that's why I tend to mostly comment to non-op posts in those threads.
I like them. If you say, do front squats/highbar you could easily add RDL's after. or if you do dead's twice a week maybe do RDL's instead of your lighter/volume dl day.
Most don't. Some do, but many have the time to do 5 exercises instead of just deadlifts.
Same thing with squats.
Good thing "making it" is something I decide on. I don't need to make your goals, just mine.
I don't do RDLs because my gym has a safety squat bar so I just do good mornings with that thing instead. If your gym doesn't have one though, RDLs mog. Good list, probably should have rows though
If you've been doing this for 4 years and you're convinced that we should too then you should have zero problem posting body.

Specializing in deadlift so not doing this right now
>Romanian Deadlifts
SLDL instead for better carryover to deadlifts
>Chin-up
Not lean enough to do volume sets 3x8-12, I think cuz haven’t tried them in a while. So do lat pulls instead
Nah 8x2 and 3x6 until and add 1 rep to each set until you get 8x3 and 3x8
And do:
Rows and bench
Pull ups and ohp
Front squat and romanian deadlifts
Maybe some isolations as well and some cardio.
im not doing deadlifts or romanians because of a terribly hamstring imbalance due to surgery so im doing single leg dls on a smith instead
otherwise i got them all, what do I win
>only 4 years
>only 3-5 reps
you some kind of dyel gay or something?
I've been thinking about adding rdls to my programming.
>my programming.
uhhh skynet?
No pic, no stats
Just another DYEL talking shit on fit again.
when are you fags going to learn that NOTHING you post in this board means anything if you don't post physique? it's a requirement to post physique and stats along with your opinions or nobody has any reason to give a shit what you think.
