Controversial.....

What does everyone think of straight leg deads?

RDLs, personally all wrong.

The general public are told all the time lift with your legs not your back.

RDLs do nothing other than cause many back and therfore hamstring related injurys (it keeps my physio in business lol)

But my arse is in peak condition from doing them?

:detective:

Find them awesome, fucks me up for days though

straight leg ones.... disaster waiting to happen imo

much harder to keep your back straight, and one slip and you're in the shit

I'd advise just doing them light Rud. I do straight leg deads, along with bent leg deads

you want a good book on weight training and muscles.

strength training anatomy
fredric delavier

has about all technique and which muscle groups are used etc..

Little updaye, on thursday last week I changed my position slighty and manage a 160kg deadlift with no pain. Lovely jubley!

said all along technique :P

Well you were right then weren't you lol :hug:
