OK...Dead Lifts vs. Romainian DL's... is the Romainian (in FL1) roughly the opposite of the standard dead lift? (Starting at the top instead of the bottom?)
This is what I get for going back to review stuff when I already know what I'm doing...

I think of a Romanian DL as a deadlift without moving my hips/knees closer to the floor. What helps me is to keep my knees slightly bent and my back in a natural arc and to just imagine sticking my ass as far back as I can go; the rest will follow. Don't underestimate the power of a visual aid, try doing this and you will feel the difference. I definitely didn't have proper form before I started doing this.
So the Rom DL is something more like what some call a "Good Morning". There's more emphasis on the back and less on the legs?
I'm getting my book to read again.

I'm looking at the pics on page 111 now. Paradigm, I see what you mean. It's still not a "good morning" but does shift the empahsis a little. Thanks for your help.
I see the good mornings don't arrive until Strenght I
Moveon

Exercise and nutrition play equal roles, and the motivation and discipline to stay consistent are really the glue that holds a program together.
