Wut, how are you doing em? 60kg should feel like warmup. Tried SLDL? Those fry my hams...
figure a is me, got weak sauce hammies, should have hit them properly from day one but i neglected them. going to hit them multiple times per week in order to bring them up.
RDLS fry my hams, just fatigue my back too.... will run some simple LP on them, might add them on fridays as i know texas method allows you to do them on friday.
i heard curls only hit 1 part of the hamstring and are not really all that?, i can only do like the 4th block on the hamstring curl machine lol, my mate who hasn't really trained before can do more then me.(Original post by commandant)
yeh I don't do them either, anything that puts an uneasy load on my lower back I shy away from
for my hammies I do lots of curls (lying, seated) - hammie kickbacks if your gym has the machine. pull throughs are nice too, lunges, also wide stance low box squats seems to hit my hams nicely.
will try pull throughs
, really aiming to fix my posture

Re: TSR Muscle Building Society For Men V7Watching this vid:

was a revelation for me when it comes to RDLs. Agreed with Commandant that relatively light weight done for ~10reps can wreck you. I don't do them often (work constraints on the day I do them often means they get missed out. meh) but when I do I really focus on keeping the back set correctly and pushing my hips back. Seems to work, I really feel it at least.Last edited by RawJoh1; 05-05-2012 at 14:58. -

Now I can't ****ed to do any leg assistance. -

Re: TSR Muscle Building Society For Men V7Probably were doing them more like a bastardised deadlift than an actual RDL. When I deadlifted 200 x 5 a properly performed RDL of 80kg seemed about right. For assistance I'd much rather take the bodybuilder approach and focus on the quality of the lift e.g. form, muscle contractions and the stretch than just trying to beast up as much weight as possible. No-one gives a **** how much you lift for assistance anyway.(Original post by Gallium)
reading peoples logs they deadlfit like 160x5 and do rdls with 100kg +, i was like wtf! -

Re: TSR Muscle Building Society For Men V7I done 60kg for 2 sets of 10, i focus on really pushing my hips back and contracting the muscle, could also feel my lats activating due to keep the bar close to me.(Original post by redbuthotter)
But then again I have untrained friends who can do 50kg SL/RDL's. Sure you're doing em correctly? Given you DL should be double that for 3-5 reps.
i could do more maybe but back was fatigued as i done heavy squats and rows beforehand.
think i should take videos squatting, maybe i'm not activating the hamstrings fully with the way i squat. -

Re: TSR Muscle Building Society For Men V7110kg rdl for 20 reps, thats ridiculous lol! sure you doing them right, i'm only using like 40% of my deadlfit 5rm for 10 or so reps and can feel my lower back and hamstrings getting worked!(Original post by Michael XYZ)
I did like 110kg for about 20 reps. Done that kind of weight/reps a few times.
It's not pretty but it kills you! It's a nice mental strength test too. -

As long as you feel it/loading hams then its fine.
I'll get a vid of mine up later from back in the day. -

Re: TSR Muscle Building Society For Men V7Does riding a bike screw up squat strength? Ever since I've started riding my bike a fair bit squats seem to have got worse.
Think I'm going to try and ride my bike less or at a slower pace....not sure what to do tbh. -

Re: TSR Muscle Building Society For Men V7I swear u do sports? Unless your riding very intensely it shouldn't affect recovery/strength levels.(Original post by McHumpy92)

Re: TSR Muscle Building Society For Men V7Kind of been riding it intensely....I kind of feel obliged too when on the roads. Plus it is fixed wheel and up hills are a constant slug.(Original post by redbuthotter)

Sprinting has no effect on squats, I don't think riding for 20mins is good for my fast twitch fibres either....but it is so cheap and effective way to travel. -
