Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / Would you guys recommend I deadlift instead of RDL?
« on: March 23, 2012, 04:47:02 pm »
I'm doing RDL's right now to hit my hams harder and also because I feel that there's (currently) a less injury risk in doing them.
But I want a great, compound exercise that I'll be doing for years on end like the squat... I can't see myself doing 455lb RDL's in the future. I mean how safe is it to unrack the bar, walk backwards with it in ur hand, and then probably have shaky form doing RDL's? Not only that, but I don't even know if I'm hitting the same depth every time. There isn't as much consistency.
Do you guys recommend I just deadlift instead? I kinda miss doing it too...
I feel like there's a stigma to deadlifting around here.
