Hail Sikastan! Please, please, please do a video on the correct form for the RDL!

I remember seeing that post from mr R . Great video fellas

Really interested in the core standards and how to test video. "More core, more better"

Timing is everything I just added SLS into my programme yesterday after a month off didn't go particularly heavy but really felt it in the hamstrings very deliberate on the moment

Sikastan gear hopefully available to the public soon. Fingers crossed.

RDLs done properly sound fantastic for climbing/bouldering, both snatch and conventional. Probably worth just swapping out regular DLs for them. Great info lads.

Comment for algorithm, Would love to see a demo of the differences between SLDLs and RDLs maybe on the sikastan tiktok?

Think a video on core standards would be very useful.

The conversation about anime was very insightful

I’m so glad you guys tackled this. I was doing RDLs last week and thought about how I must be doing them wrong, because my lower back was blowing up and I felt minor engagement in the hamstrings. I just assumed my technique was garbage.

RDL's have always been an erector/glute exercice for me personally. SLDL's have always destroyed my hams though.

Anecdotally, doing core work every day rather than twice a week made a huge difference to my Judo performance, both in terms of injury prevention and, a big one for me, keeping good posture late into rounds of sparring.

Thoughts on the farmer’s carries with a trap bar for powerlifting or s&c ?

Not sure if the LED strip makes the stag skull less or more menacing.

did you guys ever make that video on standards for core strength for athletes?

How to you fix lop sided loading? I stand/push thru/use my right leg and it's a big issue in rehabbingy QL injuring. I do single leg work(split squats, SLRDLs and SL leg press) but it's still an issue... Any tips??

The first 1:30 of this video is my favourite of any video to date. Also turn up the temp in there gents for poor Fitz 😂

I’ve had this debate many times and after doing both exercises always found RDL never touched my hamstrings. Whereas SLDL is way better and targets the hamstrings.

RDLS do you want to engage your lats to keep it close or do you want to it hanging so it puts more stress on the lower back sinces it will be further away from you?

Would getting to an elbows past head standing ab rollout be a good metric?

Thanks to our leaders of the non democratic republic of sikastan for adressing my appeal!!! Appreciate it Was not expecting that you dont like short forms in sentences tho Will do differently in my next appeal. Just thought you would like some time saved after having spent some time in your labour camps to get the appeal granted and seen the efficency they are run with 😂

Hahaha the anime discussion in the beginning

I just do deficit block deadlifts to strengthen my posterior chain

what about Jefferson deadlifts?

Can you link a vid to the core movements you mentioned in this vid please? I searched for "arms extended planks" and got wildly different results :) Plus I'm not sure if the arm touching the floor in the star fish plank should be extended or not! In a recent vid you also mentioned a regular plank with 30% added bodyweight. That still a thing? Sorry for being British x

У меня вопрос!! I go to a commercial gym and don’t have access to almost any of the implements that will be present in my strongman competition in February they have a few things in our “functional fitness“ area of the gym that may act as a facsimile to some of the events. It’s getting a little close now and I will just admit that I have been using super total training, otherwise known as training powerlifting and Olympic lifting at the same time, to which I have a larger base in Olympic lifting by comparison as a surrogate to implement-focused, traditional strongman training. How far out from competition should I start shifting the focus from the foundation to building to very high training specificity bearing in mind that I understand I may not eliminate some of those foundational exercises entirely? BW: 77-80 kg CJ: 120 kg Snatch: 90kg DL: 200kg (no straps) Squat:160kg Bench: 105kg (very weak, I know 😬) I’m not super great but I’ve finally started improving after following some specific advice from your channel; you’ve pointed me in a more optimal direction as it were. Thanks guys

Hate to burst people’s bubbles but both activate the hamstrings regardless. It’s a hinge exercise where the hips are doing the work just like doing a good morning only the loading is posterior (vs anterior loading in the RDL and SLDL)

RDL's or Halting Deadlifts for improving your Deadlift?

q from past vid @sika, no sport specific super-compnesation, but what if the whole point of the sport is to perform the specific skill under fatigue? worth training the skill fatigued then? eg bball shooting while fatigued

Lads, completely unrelated to this video but I recon there could definitely be a decent video in reviewing Nicolaas du Preez at some point. He has some wild lifts, including a below parallel 430kg squat on his Instagram. He looks like he ate Arnold and J Cutler for breakfast.

For the algo. Great video as usual :)

oooof, im noticing a slight pull down on the right side of my body when doing SLDL. When I go further down in the movement, this is the time where i see the slight bend towards the right side. My shoulder blade on the right side has been doing some funky noises and at one point hurt as they retracted out when reaching for the bar during a dead lift or picking anything up. It's fine right now but now lower right side of my back in between the glute and the right lower back has been hurting a little. What do you guys recommend?

That’s your QL bro. Had the same problem just use The hyperextension machine, double leg hypers, single leg hypers to emphasize that area. And QL sideways hyperextensions (learned this from knees over toes guy and it cured it). Do a lot of reps and pump a bunch of blood to the muscle and alternate with heavier working sets each session. Get a really nice stretch and extend on pump and work day.

Thats weird. I feel them almost entirely in my hamstrings. But I'm a powerlifter who pulls conventional so my back is super strong. SLDL don't do much for me. Anyway I think RDLs are actually for whatever they help you with. Same with every other exercise.

I think their point is when done "properly", meaning the way the original weightlifting assistance exercise is done (leaning forward, not pushing hips back that much) it's not for hamstrings. But if you concentrate only on pushing hips back and getting the hamstring stretch, it is for hamstrings.

Underrated comment

Every time I do RDLs, Eoin's voice echoes in my head. 'Those work your erector spinae not hamstrings'

Anime and cosplay in Sikastan must be so based.

Guys would you do a video on leg length discrepancies and how you overcome/compensate for them in athletes. I personally have a 20mm tibia length discrepancy which can cause quite a few issues in the bottom of a deep squat even if compensated for by standing on a 20mm shim.

But, nothing makes my hamstrings more sore than rdls 😆

Is it cold in that room...?😉

I thought heroin was only for Scots, since when do the Irish have good taste in barbiturates?

For some RDLs are all the rage especially with women. They're pretty much a ridiculous waste of time exercise. These people should be doing stiff legged deadlifts instead. Much more effective. And I'm not even gonna go into those silly hip thrusters that every chick is now obsessed with. Funny thing is you'll never see those females ever doing even 1 set of calf training
