Christian Thibaudeau: @ Mut... upright row I believe

Christian Thibaudeau: @ fatguy... like it

Tim Henriques: @Menno cont - I am not sure I buy your argument of why RDL's (a good exercise for sure) would be more beneficial than deads when the weight is significantly greater in deads, the ROM for most muscles is greater, and most other things are relatively equal. What factors have you putting the RDL as being better for size than the conventional deadlift? Thanks for your time

Tim Henriques: @Menno - here is the link to the article I was talking about: http://www.t-nation.com/...-exercises-suck Regarding the erectors being the agonist I was referring to trunk extension (standing upright from a bent over position) not spinal extension. I actually wrote an article about that as well: http://www.t-nation.com/...eadlift&cr=

Christian Thibaudeau: @ corst... regular abs work will NOT prepare you for the rings at all. That's one thing I learned the hard way! Dragon flag work, hollow rock, leg raises, L-sit are all exercises you should work on

Christian Thibaudeau: @ Chig... rings are a great tool. But they cannot simply be added to one of the old programs. These programs are already very high in volume and demanding on the CNS. Adding rings require a decrease in lifting volume.

Menno Henselmans: Tim Henriques: Could you provide a link to your article? I'd love to read it. As for the deadlift, for all the muscles you mentioned, RDL > deadlift. On a side note, I wouldn't perform the deadlift with active back extension/rounding (I assume that's what you mean with erectors as agonist?). That's extremely harsh on the spine.

Menno Henselmans: -Sigil-: Closed chain reigns supreme. No recovery concerns, just respect the microloadability principle if you want to do a lot of body weight stuff.

Menno Henselmans: Id13: It's tissue stress distribution. The rings are way easier on your joints than fixed bars. I don't recommend doing them, but if you insist, use rings.

Maverick23: Love the discussion between Henriques and Menno! Two of my faves

Vejne: I usually do RDLs for hamstrings. Furthermore, I always advocate RDLs against true stiff-legged deadlifts. In my opinion, that slightly better stretch not worth the risk of messing with the lower back. And to be honest, 90% of the gym folk doesn't have the flexibility and mobility required to do stiff legged deads with significant weight without risk.

Dropkick_9: Does anyone know a tailor where I can let out the sleeves to all of my shirts?
