/Low bar squat

Hack squat or legpress

Go draw it out in the way he does it and you might get an idea :)

It depends on your goal a low bar/safety is going to be a bit more on your posterior chain. Highbar and especially fronts will target your quads more.

Hahahaha, facts 😂😂

Lmfaoooo 😂😂😂

Looking forward to your next

Depends on how you do them. With a trap bar you can do an RDL, you can do a heel elevated trapbar deadlift for quads, you can do stiff legged deadlift, you can do normal trapbar deadlift. Trapbars dont limit your range of motions and allow your knees to travel further forward so normal trap bar DL would be a bit more quad depending on your structure.

When knees are extended during SLDL, Hamstrings are in their lengthened range i.e, Hip flexion - Knee extension. Therefore, Puts more emphasis on Hamstrings. But when you flex your knees during RDL, Hamstrings are in the mid range i.e, Knee flexion - Hip flexion and according to the bi articular muscle theory, A bi articular muscle can't produce enough force when it's shortened on one end and lengthened on the other 'simultaneously'. And hamstrings are bi articular muscles - They articulate at the knee and hip joint. As a result, The glutes take over during RDLs.

what's the difference between RDL and SLDL? Thanks

Second this

@@MeleDrummer The knee doesn't bend in sldl. Keep in mind though, the knee doesn't bend forward in an rdl like in a squat. it hinges at same time with hips.

I personally find the trap bar RDL far superior to the BB RDL. I never do BB RDL. The center of gravity is much more spine friendly and I can feel my hams much better. I do both BB and trap bar deadlifts every other month. The same argument can be made for the trap bar deadlift. The TB deadlift is a bit more quad dominant which I like because I have long legs and arms relative to the torso. This means I am quite stronger in the posterior chain than (hams and glutes) than the anterior chain (quads). Try it and see what works best for you.

Regarding going to failure I never do that on RDL and deadlift. I use safer isolation exercises for that (leg curl, Nordic ham curl etc)

not too useful

I think it should be put in a place dependent on how you want to prioritize your glutes/hamstrings/erectors. They are a compound movement for all those muscles so you can do them first. Do them first before squats if it matters more to you imo. On my 2 leg days I prioritize quads first and the other I do glutes/erectors/hamstrings first. I do my RDLS on my quad prioritization day after squats because I like a higher rep range for them and they feel better (and are safer for me) when I get some blood flowing and warm up my joints.

@@EvsPersonal - I'd personally say you want to be prioritising (or atleast having more volume) on your posterior leg than your anterior. Too much quad work, now bare in mind too much work doesn't mean necessarily just volume, it also means intentisty, or work capacity on the quad (this all equates to workload) may cause ATP (anterior pelvic tilt) due to the quads becoming overly dominant and literally pulling the hips forward/down. This can force some lordosis (excessive concave curvature) of the lumbar spine, this can cause plenty of unwanted side effects, cause issues to the upper spinal sectors etc. Now, on the flip side you can get PPT (posterior pelvic tilt) from excessive work on your hams and glutes but.. The chance of this happening is extremely slim vs the chance of ATP caused by too much workload on the quads which happens much more often. With my clients, I always 1.2-1.7 times the amount of pull work vs push work in their training blocks (this may be altered to a even ratio during certain cycles of their training block, maybe if they are working some sort of movement pattern specialisation or something of that nature) I do this purely as a means of keeping solid posture. It's each to their own and if you find prioritising your quads over glute and hams and you have no ATP issues then keep doing it mate. Hope you're training is going well and you get the progress you're after 👌👍

@@DDB-91 I agree that more often than not, people have more dominant anterior side of the legs than posterior. I didn’t want to make that assumption in my comment because I do not know the persons body or their goals. Sometimes people want more dominant quads and don’t care about the evenness of their legs. Even if it comes with imbalances and risk of injury. I would never program that for someone though. I think it’s smart that you program more posterior work on the body than anterior. The majority of people who work out and don’t work out have more dominant anterior muscles. Which as you know, causes a ton of issues. Hope the best for you as well 👍

why does he have "beef" with Joe?

if you do it right you'll feel the stretch. The movement ends where your hip flexion end range finishes, don't loose your neutral spine

@@MeleDrummer thanks

Yep

Why I am curious because he stuff is great from what I have seen compared to others on KZfaq?
