I do them sometimes. Haven't done romanians for some time tho
That seems so hard. I guess I would start with bw while holding onto something and progress from there?
In my experience SLDs are worse than RDLs for overall hamstring development + they neglect glutes, but they're pretty much same shit for natties. Bulgarians are killer if you don't have equipment though so I wouldn't skip them.
I did them when I was doing strictly calisthenics, if you cam squat your weight (most people can with moderate training) it's mostly balance that's hard so yeah have something to hold on to when starting.
Problem is my grip gives out before my legs. Would using training gloves help with that?
I assume you are talking about rdls. I had same issue and found using assistance wouldn't be a good decision long term, so instead work on your grip and incorporate them as often as possible to get better grip (doesn't matter if you don't reach muscular failure you don't do them for that you do it for grip). There's no better way to increase grip strength than simply do things that involve holding onto something
The thread is about leg training tho
I know, but I'm saying do the rdls until your grip strength is good enough to do functional rdls for leg imrpovement.
