    Default Back Problem - RDL

    Hi Mark, I have problems with stiff lower back and hamstrings caused by sitting at a desk all day. I stretch and having accupuncture to help it. Would Romanian deadlift be a worth while addition to my workout to help my back or should I stick with supermans.

    Mon
    Squat 5 x 5 (ramping the weight)
    Bench Press 5 x 5 (ramping the weight)
    Chins 3 x max
    Supermans 3 x 10

    Wed
    Lighter Back Squat 4 x 5 (ramping the weight)
    Press 4 x 5 (ramping the weight)
    Dead Lift 4 x 5 (ramping the weight)

    Fri
    Squat 5 x 5 (ramping the weight)
    Bench Press 5 x 5 (ramping the weight)
    Chins 3 x max
    Supermans 3 x 10

    I try to add 2.5 kg on Mon and Fri to my Squat and Bench Press and 2.5 kg to Press and DL on a Wednesday. In reality I will probably only add to the Bench Press once a week.

    Note: There is not bumper of spacer plates at my gym so I'm saving up for my own so I can kearn the Power Clean.

    Thanks
    Adam

    Why would you think Supermans would stretch out your hamstrings?
