Hamstrings vs Lower Back in stiff legged deads
Hi Dan,
I want to incorporate a deadlift variation that hits the lower back hard. The lower back pumps i've had from high rep sets on low bar are nothing like what i feel from after a hard set of 12 on the deadlift.
On normal deadlifts for me it's grip, quads and hamstrings in that order.
Deficit deadlifts it's quads, grip, hamstrings.
Deficit stiff legged, hamstrings mostly.
I've read that deadlifts hit the traps and lats but never felt anything is that a myth or am i doing something wrong?
I've also read an article where you stated that round back vs arched back deficit stiff legged deads for lower back vs hamstrings.
Could you describe how the round back deadlift is performed?
Do you end up with a straight posture at the end of the movement ("unrounding" your back on the concentric) or do you keep a round upper back the whole time?
Best Regards

Weak out of the Hole on Squats
Dan,
I've been hitting Pause Squats after the Primary Movement (which is Comp Squats) at 10% or so less then the programmed percentage for the Primary. I'll than hit Belt Squats as a third movement.
What are your recommendations for power out of the hole on the Squat?
