Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Probably no need to adjust your technique. It’s not possible to hip hinge and not work your gluteals. Where about sin your Hamstrings is the DOMS?

I was thinking the same thing - perhaps Sally's hammies are just not as strong as her glutes therefore on a compound move she's feeling it most in the weaker muscles.

Personally I'd only worry about my technique if I felt it in my lower back.

I was asking my coach about RDLs today. I'd become convinced I was getting them all wrong. Wasn't sure which hand the dumbbell weight should be in, was worried my hips were twisting and my lifted leg wasn't parallel to the ground.

I have issues with my grip with RDLs - I can't hold on for very long. Yes, I'm using straps, it's still difficult. Coach recommended some "No Sweat" - liquid that goes sticky. It worked great for the RDLs, so today I thought I'd try some to improve my grip when I did some pull-up work (not full ones, still working on that). So I applied some, climbed on my cube, reached up, grabbed the bar, did some hanging with knee raises, then... oh. Hands stuck to the bar. I managed to peel them off, carefully, but I did have a little panic that I might need to call for help. That would have been embarrassing.

And in case you're wondering about that title, well, I like alliteration and one can be too po-faced about the use of girl/lady/woman.
