Didn't want to do more because I didn't want to clean the floor afterwards That's why I wear jog pants with elasticated ankles..when you get to my age, anything can happen!!! 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny you ask though because I was going to try this with BW (97 kg) with the axle later today, will be interesting to see. I haven't trained DL in several months so if I get 20 reps I'm happy haha Yeah but I was asking here as we are not powerlifters lol. But my questions was for a DO on a NORMAL bar lol.

I noticed something on my thick bar. I do do reps easier with constant tension instead of re gripping every time. Have you tried re-gripping? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason the lighter reps were somewhat hard with constant tension was 18 reps was about 8 more than I usually do with my RDL and I was cardio defeated, LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
