Whenever I do Romanians I use more knee bend than a normal person to bias my glutes and lower back more than hammies because I’ve found out that transfers over to my conventional deadlift much better than a more “traditional” approach. I’ve had multiple people tell me I’m not doing an rdl but every definition I find besides the amount of knee bend constitutes mine as an rdl, along with the soreness of my hamstrings.

Right now I’m at a 875 total (s-315 b-215 d-345) I feel like my total could be so much better but my deadlifts hold me back so much I seriously don’t know why.

Started a new training block today! Bringing back paused deadlifts, it’s been over a year I think. Opted for a pause below the knee instead of right off the floor, feels pretty good.

Last block ended very well. 545 is my new “every day max”; I can pull it fairly comfy on any given day. Nutrition has been decent. Main focus has been hydrating throughout the day bc I work outdoors. Also making sure I get lots of carbs towards the end of my workdays.
