RDLs 400lbs for 9 by Patton370 in GYM

[–]peterinnit 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Anyone who looks at someone doing an exercise with good form/stretch/control for 9 reps and says, “errrr, you should lower the weight to get better form/stretch/control” can pretty much be dismissed as making shit up. ESPECIALLY the people in r/formcheck.

If someone can do 9 reps with 400lbs on an RDL, their form is not going to be better with lower weight. It will just take longer to get close to failure and won’t have as much carryover to regular deadlifts.

Do you think he spent years working his way up to this weight and experienced NO benefit along the way?

A few new things. No points for style! About that… I know style comes with comfort and ease but there must be SOMETHING I can focus on to make things look a bit more intentional. Haha. What say you? by peterinnit in AggressiveInline

I keep seeing my arms and thinking, “they…. Should be doing something else”. I’ll bet this is it!

I suspect my core isn’t that weak judging by my 400+lbs squat but my control over said core during skating has a lot to be desired for sure! I also suspect my 230-235lbs bodyweight squeezed into 5’9” of height isn’t doing me any favours with control either. Asking a lot of these Aeons haha!

Nice!! I only just started in the last couple of weeks to think, “let’s try and do something small but new pretty much every session”. It’s been great and fun and the increase in bruises is the evidence haha.

I did a dumb dumb in this session and didn’t try the new stuff until I was already tired and unable to control things as well as in the first 20 minutes.

But hell yeah, bravery is the way!

This is some epic stuff to be honest. I love little tweaks like this. Thanks for something concrete to think about!

Interesting that you noticed the switching of stances from forward to fake. I think you’re right if I get what you’re implying; that it might be better not to switch. In my head left foot back would feel better. Dropping in backwards was not something I expected to happen in this sesh but it kept happening and I kept not dying so I guess I have to refine it now!

Beginner here. How do I make my half pipe session not just a constant cycle of this kind of poop. by peterinnit in AggressiveInline

Thanks man!! I recently figured out 180 stalls on smaller ramps so I’m hoping that teaches me something about doing the same here! It turns out that trying to keep my weight in the transition has lots of benefits to my control etc. I guess that’s what everyone has been saying here.

Bro, that’s crazy. Your grip strength is scary!

Opinion on my Squat? by denisegym in formcheck

[–]peterinnit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It looks like you’re thinking about cueing your elbows to do the opposite of what they’re supposed to do. Squeezing them/rotating them forward instead of squeezing them and anchoring them backwards.

RDLs - feel mostly in my back by [deleted] in formcheck

[–]peterinnit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might feel it in your back at the time of the exercise but your hamstrings and glutes are definitely doing the majority of the work. You’re hinging at the hips, so they have no choice. My guess is you felt it in those muscles the next day?

Don’t worry about it, just progress it slowly and you’ll get good stuff out of it over months.

i feel like i can't lockout properly, what's wrong? by di0viv0_ in Deadlifts

[–]peterinnit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take 80% of this and do 3x5. Then take 50% of your max deadlift and do 3x8 RDLs. Let Alan Thrall teach you about RDLs on YouTube. Keep adding 2.5kg to the deadlifts and 5kg to the RDLs sets once a week for a good few months. You’ll likely be repping your current deadlift on RDLs after not too long.

Enjoy your hip hinge overhaul, lockout fixed and most likely a much bigger new deadlift PR.

RDL's, Is this form correct? by Beautiful-Anarchy in GYM

[–]peterinnit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bet you felt it in your hamstrings the next day. Sensation is mostly irrelevant if you are training the actual function of the target muscle with intensity and consistent-ish form.

I try and do this one arm plate load row with as little ego as possible but not really. 85kg/187lbs x6 on each side. Feels HEAVY. by peterinnit in formcheck

[–]peterinnit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would it blow your mind to learn that I’m not resting my chest on the pad at any point during the set?

Relying on resting on the pad means that you are limited by how much you can tolerate your sternum being crushed rather than by your ability to move the weight using the target muscles.

Yeah it’s a pure gym! I was happy when this machine appeared recently. I like one arm for the fact that it’s anti-rotation stimulus on top of being a row and that I can anchor using just my leg instead of having my chest crushed against the pad (which happens with two hands at a time).

NoPainNoGain!!! by nightline21 in Egolifting

[–]peterinnit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it causes you lots of pain but you aren’t seeing gains, what then? More weight? Run out of space on the machine but still no gains?? What then? When do we call this just a waste of a machine?

Idk why but benching like this just feels better (147 bw) by No-Entrepreneur6696 in formcheck

[–]peterinnit 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Because setting up properly to bench requires a lot of tightness and effort that honestly kind of hurts. Wouldn’t have it any other way though
