    How are things going in your area? Seems that here in NY they are planning to bring back masks. I'm just glad I have my gym in my garage. Have a Merry Christmas.

    Thanks Jerry. All good here. I'm proud of the government and people of this state. When IT came they locked down early and hard. Social distancing, masks, registering at venues for contact tracing. Soon had no covid, and few deaths. Some cases now with the omnicrom and open borders and airports. But nearly all of us are double vaccinated.
    Wasn't the same in the eastern states which are full of idiots demanding their freedums, and no care if their neighbours die due to their hardness of heart.

    I would like to try some higher rep Romanian DLs. I have in the past done SLDL with higher reps and feel they help the back. Do you start the RDL from the floor or take the bar from the rack?

    Hi Friend Jerry,
    As hi rep Romanian Deadlifts are a relatively light weight, I deadlift it from the floor to get into the starting position. Never done the exercise before, but am liking the feel of it, and i think it has potential. Will be doing it for the whole of next year (paired with front squats).

    Thanks for the reply. I think that this coming year I am going to do some different things. I do at times feel higher reps work better for me on DLs. Another thing I may try is partials. Quarter sqts from the pins in the rack. I feel that when I take the bar from the rack to sqt.the initial feeling gets me intimidated and hesitant to go down.i want to get used to supporting heavier weights. Well have a Merry Christmas and a healthy New Year.

    Well,you know how oldies like to reminisce .... years back, before I started on this site, I was a pretty good masters lifter - deep squats in snatches and C+J that impressed others my age. Suddenly I developed a stabbing pain in my left knee in the deep squat position, so I couldn't get down any more. Well I started doing the split technique with my good knee forward.
    To work my legs I did quarter squats, front and back of neck, which didn't hurt my knee. Twenty rep sets, finally getting to over 400 lbs. They really worked the quads.
    By the end of the year, I could make my best squat lift weights in the split, and made a new total record. So I think the quarter squat will do what you want, getting heavy weights feeling normal.

    I do at times feel higher reps work better for me on DLs.
    Same here. I think oldies lose fast twitch muscle fibres. I used to be really something at max weights, but now I'm like a girl - good at high reps and shit with maxes. Like your start with the RDL. Very impressive.

    Thanks for your input. I sometimes look at some of my old workout cards and get a little depressed seeing my max lifts lifts now used to be part of my warm ups. I guess that's normal.
    I think I will give the partial program a try, maybe do a light set of full sqts as part of the warm up just to keep myself somewhat flexible.
    Have a Happy New Year
