12 Stiff-Leg Deadlift Mistakes and How to Fix Them

Спорт

This series will zoom in on one exercise at a time and point out common errors and how you can fix them. At the end of the day, nothing is dogma, and your technique should be the one that gives you the highest stimulus at the lowest cost of fatigue.

    I always thought that it was important to keep the pelvis neutral during SLDL and that anterior tilting the pelvis would shift the tension to the low back. I once hurt my low back badly by letting my pelvis slip from neutral to anterior tilted in a rep. Maybe it's just the way my body works but I feel a shift away from the hams to my low back when anterior tilting my pelvis

    Good stuff as always! Thank you. One question: Jared is starting and finishing his reps at the top. Wouldn’t that be considered a Romanian Deadlift? I have always understood that a Stiff Leg Deadlift is pulled from the floor every rep, and the Romanian Deadlift starts at the top and typically goes down to mid-shin or so, but not touching the ground.

  • @ColeDano

    There's really no standard terminology for RDL vs SLDL so a lot of people have their own idea of what they are. Mike's point is probably best stated as, whatever you call it, this is how I do this exercise to get jacked.

  • @o_Milo

    @o_Milo

    4 жыл бұрын

    I think they're also starting at the top to mimic the standard eccentric (lowering) first and then a concentric (move up) that is present in basically the other two main compound lifts (squat, bench). I think however that it doesn't really matter too much, but if you do start at the bottom that you have the requisite mobility and form to do a SLDL completely off the floor

    I can plant both my palms on the ground and only then can I feel a mediocre stretch in my hamstrings, so this exercise wasn’t stretching my hamstrings sufficiently for the longest time. I realized that putting 2 25lbs plates on the ground and then leaving the heel on the floor and the other half of the foot on the plate and flexing the foot so the toes go in the air gave me the best stretch of my hamstrings in my life. If anyone is too flexible I highly recommend that. I didn’t watch the whole video yet but if this tip isn’t in there I hope this helps.

In my program RDL goes right after back squat and while I’m doing warmup sets I feel my hamstrings working, but when I use working weight (approx 80% of deadlift 1RM for 3x8) I feel strong pain in tailbone area as if something tearing in there.
