I’m out of the loop but starting to hear people talk about it.

What is it?

Very good upper day in the gym. For some reason BO rows give me a slight tingling in my hammys so I’m doing chest supported rows while I fix my leg muscle imbalances.

That groin injury was something else lol.

We move. Getting back to great

I can’t catch a damn break man

Leg day today, finished my squats (315lbs 4x6) with no qualms.

Moved to RDL (275 4x6) and on the last rep of of my 2nd set I pulled my hammy

As I type this at 6:46PST I’m just gonna finish with abs and calves then call it a day. When I get home it’s a lot of ice.

I can’t do another lengthy leg injury.

How “heavy” are those for you relatively?

For Squats, 315 is challenging but not impossible. I used to do 345-355 for like 3x4. But now, I’ll just add more reps for 315 instead of weight. Heavy squats really tax my body.

RDL I used to do 295 to 305

I think the bigger issue is the groin injury caused some imbalances in my legs since I took some time off to heal.

Even last week when squatting I did like 275 to work my way up. RDL at 255/265.

Injuries are part of it and I’ve definitely taken more time to rest and recover word to @xXMASHERXx

We move. I have PT this weekend anyway

I don’t see the wisdom in going that heavy on back squats and then BB RDLs. Depending on your squat stance you may already be glute/ham dominant on squats and then doubling down with the RDLs. It’s not impossible but considering the other things you want to like soccer, cycling I don’t see the “need”.

That said Ive gravitated to other versions of RDLs instead of BB to save the taxing on my body.

Saw this on the hypothetical situation Reddit:

For 5 million dollars can you deadlift 500 lbs with 18 months to train for it.

Edit: According to the replies it’s very doable
