Yeah romanians are where it's at for bodybuilding purposes
I hate high rep deadlifts. Just asking for form breakdown
To me, 'high rep' sets are 3
I usually only do singles or doubles
Not the best for bodybuilding, but honestly deadlifts aren't the best for bodybuilding anyway. Stiff legged deadlifts would be better

Why do you guys prefer stiff legs and Romanians?
1) More hi-rep friendly
2) tension stays on which is important for bodybuilding
3) you use significantly less weight so easier to recover from
4) you learn some very good form cues for conventional deadlift, you learn how to really engage the lats and control the bar path.

I dont prefer them. I just said better for bodybuilding. Because they are more suited for thoroughly exhausting the hamstrings
I prefer standard deadlifts because they make me feel good. But low rep/high weight only, because thats what makes me feel the best.
I don't bodybuild so Im not the one to ask.

Rejoined my old gym
Haven't been there in over 3 years but the staff still remember me and welcomed me back warmly
Felt good stepping back into a gym where the staff act like proffesionals and none of the machines had a "Out of order" sign sitting on top of them
"Free" Wi-Fi (not really free, but you get the point)
Big screen TVs scattered all across the joint
TVs on the treadmills and bikes
Swimming Pool
A shower I can actually use, meaning I can start going there before work
A resident physiotherapist and biokineticist
Secure parking
Bad bytches in leggings
I know this stuff is pretty much standard in most big gyms but man, I really took it for granted the first time round
It's only when you've been to a REALLY shytty gym that you learn to appreciate it
I think this change of environment is what I need to take my fitness to the next level
Was only supposed to go from next month but they said they won't bill me for this month, so I start tomorrow morning

In the gym right now and did 3 sets each of RDL and stiff legs. I like them and didn't feel dizzy like regular dead lifts. Just gotta work on squeezing the glutes.
