However, I do alternate some weeks with good mornings/bent-rows. As far as the RDL (which isnt even Romanian or a DL IMO) is similar to the stiff-legged variety than the traditional deadlift. Right? Im supprised your a fan of RDLs as a replacement. Maybe I need to give them another try.

It's like this, but without the shrug at the end:

Thanks.
I see you have your knees slightly bent. Fuck it, ill try it next week. I'm guessing the hammies get some work too.

No idea what my 1RM is right now (nor does it matter), my last max effort pull was back in December, which was 600x1. I am aiming to work up to 515x10 or 550x5 (whichever comes first), then maybe try another 1RM then. Theres this little Brazillian guy who DL's like 700 at my gym and cleans over 400 lol. So size and strength dont go hand in hand.

Keep it up! I've noticed(like squats) that I will plateau for a while then all the sudden one day BOOM I can lift 30 or 40 more pounds.
