I took deadlifts out of my routine 6 months or so ago and my back is feeling healthier than ever. RDLs are my go to hip hinge (plus kb swings). It's an easy pill to swallow once you recognise you're not a powerlifter.

Great video! Been doing Romanian Deadlifts exclusively for the last 7 years, and it's been one of the best training decisions I've made for hamstring growth.

Peter Khatcherian: I never deadlift; but I do Romanian deadlift.
People in Romania: So you deadlift.

[mab]

my RDL's are pretty much deadlifts. My arms reach all the way down basically.
Started doing em when I first started gym then they naturally just became full blown deadlifts.

[angmori]

Deadlift is my favorite lift. I'm not saying you are in any way wrong in anything you say here, you are completely correct. For anyone who doesn't aspire specifically to deadlift a ton, the deadlift should be traded in after achieving a base strength of 4 plates for more suitable alternatives.

But I love the deadlift.

[bangscutter]

Making the switch from conventional to hex trap bar and Romanian deadlift variants, is the best game changer in my lifting journey. I am not a powerlifter, and therefore do not need to do conventional deadlift. Who cares what the "purists" say. I do what suits my needs. I lift for overall fitness and not in it for powerlifting. Hex trap bar and Romanian deadlift variants allow me to still train for strength and hypertrophy while being better for lower back health and recovery.

I love deadlifts. My body always feels spent after I lift heavy deadlifts and the feeling is so good to me.

[ProudQLD]

I agree. I perform the Stiff Leg deadlift for my back as well as hamstrings and glutes. Love it.

Dorian Yates has always used RDLs and saved them for his last movement on back. He explained that saving the RDL for last helps to ensure he doesn't use too much weight since he's already fatigued from the other movements. Also, he prefers RDLs since they keep constant tension on the back, whereas you stop on DLs. They work great for me!

[SOLIDToM]

Deadlift is the only lift that got me injured during my 30+ years of training.
As much as I loved it, I stopped doing the traditional barbell deadlift a long time ago.
I now do straight-legs dumbbell deads, half deads and shrugs in place of traditional DL.

RDL is really a good back exercise in addition to being a good hamstrings and glutes exercise. It overloads the back muscles with more total weight than any of the rows or pull ups. So it plays a vital role in overall back development.

I think something from the deadlift family is really valuable for 99% of the population. RDLs with light kettlebells are fine by me. Single leg DLs with really light kettlebells are also fine. Sure it is a different game for serious bodybuilders but let's not be telling average folks not to deadlift. There are guys at my gym who will not deadlift, because they have watched too many youtube videos telling them they are BAD.

[Cenotph]

Deadlifts are literally one of the most functional lifts in the entire lifting arsenal.
I think the issue is mostly concerned around loading and technique than anything else

[kelvinsbowties]

Trap Bar RDLs are so underrated, you still get a good stretch on the hamstrings if you switch to low handles .Plus you get a sick upper back and traps pump. I use RDLs and thede if I want a hip hinge that’s a bit easier on the lower back and more emphasis on the hammies.

[Garret_bruh_homey]

Moderate and light load RDLs make my low back feel amazing. Never mind strength and physique - I think they're foundational for general health.

Hang on, hang on, 😮 I bought the 5 day mass program a few months ago. I don’t want to give parts of your program away to those who haven’t paid for it but…. what’s on Day 2? Barbel Deadlifts! I’ve been following your videos since you started posting them on YouTube as your content is great pragmatic advice and there’s no gimmicks, no spin, no ads for supplements.

One of the most consistent themes of your videos Peter is, “try not to get caught up in all the science and the fashionable techniques, if you want to build muscle the old school way, you have to use proven methods such as using the big compound movements”.

I started doing this properly around two years ago, focusing more on squats, bench and deadlifts along with a solid diet of old school style meat and dairy. I gained over 30lbs in those two years. Having spent a few years beforehand at the same weight, I know it was from doing these bigger compound movements. Yes the deadlift is hard, takes time to master and I can only manage a heavy session once a fortnight (being 42 years old and taking forever to recover) but the gains in size and strength are unquestionable.

As a final comment, the silver and golden era bb guys all did these and from his videos, it’s a staple movement of CBum’s. I’m in no way doubting what works for you Pete but I think people who watch this should be careful that they don’t dismiss doing deadlifts because of it.

PS. Some videos on performing some of the proper technique for different movements would be great for those of us who train on our own, thanks.

Το all people, do your deadlifts but without ego. Deadlift is the best mass builder. I am a guy who start deadlift 2 years ago because all gyms didnt allow this movement. Happy new year.

[yardleylfc]

I like you podcasts because you talk about multiple ideas for building muscle.
RDL all the way!
