Do any of you bros use these in your back workouts?

I've just adopted these in a workout change i've just made and let me tell you they're fucking awesome!

Just curious as to how many bros are doing them or have done them.

Can't believe I wasn't doing them earlier

I've used them and I like them. Personally, I use them as a replacement for RDL's which means I do them on leg day, but I suppose back day is as good as any.

I'm just changing my routine a bit seeing as it's been 1 month 1/2 since my last back mix around.

I can definetely feel it in my lower back and hams today. No, this isn't a sign of progression, but at least I know I hit the right spots doing it

Oh, good, you did do them right. Most certainly, you should feel it in your hammies. They're like an RDL with the bar in a different place.

I just added these a few months ago. I was really amazed at how little weight I needed to add to really few a good pump. These are a great exercise. I get some weird looks, must be an old timer exercise. I am the only on in the gym who was doing these. Now I see at least 4 others doing them. The day after really feels nice. Good exercise.

Very true, felt a little gay sticking my ass out like that

But the feeling makes it all feel good!

Peace,

Love em. They are on of the best exercises for helping the deadlift and squat and will give you great back and hamstring development.

If you guys have a safety squat bar or cambered bar at your gym, they are even more fun. They are much ahrder with these bars because of the camber, but I've worked up to a strict 405x3 on the cambered bar with these - I haven't seen too many guys who can replicate that.
