Because the morons and people baiting you into believing DLs are bad have hidden RDLs from you. They're awesome for grip and your forearms when you do them heavy and high reps. I'll do them at like 160~ (my normal DL is like 290) and 3x12. Feels great.
>my grip strength is limiting my normal DLs
You have two options:
Alternate grip, I used to do this. Supposedly not great biomechanically but idk.
Hook grip, I learned this. With RDLs actually. Pretty sure the tendinopathy I have in my thumb right now is related.
Using chalk? I got to 4 plate+ with alternative, grip was never a problem. Plan right now (I haven't lifted in 5+ years) was to do the same with hook grip, but I have tendonitis in my wrist along the lower tendon and I think it's related, what is fricked is that it actually doesn't hurt while lifting but just gets worse and worse over time, and a bit of googling indicates it might be the hook grip.
I'm gonna second dead hangs, especially at the end of days where you squat or deadlift.
Seriously man, yeah sure you're getting your grip strength in and very efficiently, but more importantly your back just always feels better.
Yes picking up heavy things is how you build juicy horse forearms.

I mixed grip, helped bring my grip strength from a measly 2 plate to a 3 plate

can I do them with alternate grip once my grip becomes the limiting factor?
Don't you dare to do that!
it reverses the gains
why is big stiffy bending his knees so much
just wait until you try lever work on rings for time
do these really help make your butt bigger??? asking for a friend
No you should do preacher bicep curls to make your butt big.
Yes, mostly hamstrings though.
Then again I get the most sore in my glutes after squats. I have no idea bros.
yes. if you want more focus on the glutes bend your legs slightly more when doing them
I’m having trouble feeling these in my hammies. Is there any reason why? Am I doing something wrong?
go deeper
Into your mother anon
chest up, shoulders pinch
focus on the hip hinge
You need to actively keep your legs straightened by engaging the quadriceps.
check if you have anterior pelvic tilt
I do have anterior pelvic tilt. Now what?
work on strenghtening glutes and hamstrings, strretch quads and adductors, don't stretch hamstrings
now do paused RDLs
did those today
could barely hold onto the pullup bar to deadhang after I was done lifting
What's the difference between this and a normal deadlift?
You have to be Romanian
and you'll develop a fetish for female soccer players of a certain type
