All I've learned from this video is that Jeff Nippard is dummy thick.

Would just like to say, Jeff i appreciate your channel for the quality it puts out. I don't care if you don't upload for 6 months+, if it is high quality research based material I will always be a satisfied subscriber. You never disappoint

I'm able to build beefy hamstrings by chasing lots of campers out of my forest all the time

I love how whenever Jeff demonstrates badd technique he dresses like a gym bro hahaha

[jacobgraves]

3:06 this is literally a perfect tip and why we come to this channel. I was not feeling this in my hammies until I watched this. You go down until you can’t push your hips back with your back straight any further. Thank you Jeff

[SMii]

I love Bro Jeff! He's always showing us the correct way to perfect our technique! Thanks Bro!

5:37 Did my man just deadass put his headphones over his airpods? lol

[calebvincent]

Jeff the kinda guy to roll one sleeve up for a thumbnail about hams

[saketgokhale]

Providing us with fire information and content every single time. This guy is on another level. Mad respect for you Jeff :) crazy how far you've come.

[snes]

I've seen a lot of tutorial videos on how to do an RDL properly, but this was the only one that really clicked with me. Was able to do 225 with no pain and good form. My hams and glutes are absolutely on fire. Thanks again, Jeff.

[michaeljarvis]

4 days ago, my friend said he needed to work on hamstrings. I sent him this video as soon as you uploaded it and now he's addicted your channel. Can't say the same thing didn't happen to me months ago

[elephantricity]

Yeah I always found it interesting how conventionals never made my hamstrings sore.. But the first time I did RDL's, it was like my hamstrings finally came alive!

[TheRealGuywithoutaMustache]

Jeff's hamstrings are so beefy, it can feed a village in Africa.

[Joel-izzr]

uploaded an hour before my Leg workout. Jeff you're a real one homie

[akapabs]

Jeff I just wanted to give you a sincere thank you for this video. My RDL form was an absolute mess.. I searched youtube for a proper RDL form video and found many but yours was the absolute best in breaking it down in every which way. Thank you.. heading out to the gym with the confidence that I'll finally be able to execute this exercise correctly and gain maximum benefits from it.

[xavierotazo]

Thanks Jeff for helping me build not only my muscles but also my knowledge on the different techniques available, you are the best!

[LukeSherran]

Loving the Technique Tuesday series! I love SLDs but my lower back issues mean I have to be very careful with them.

[crowneproductions]

thanks for the 5lb plate under front of feet tip. I'm feeling a deep burn now in those hammies. I lift at home with an olympic barbell and weights setup (have dumbbells up to 35lbs so I use those for various ancillary work). Because of this I don't have access to a leg curl machine or anything else fancy enough to work on hamstring directly so this is a big help for my leg days.

[eyalco]

Love this part of your channel.
I'm a lecturer in PT courses and the way you explain is great.

[SarangMadhani]

I'm very thankful for these technique Tuesday videos! I've watched it a bunch of times and it's always good to review basics! Thanks!
