[QUOTE="Don't Skip Leg Day, post: 988173, member: 35381"] Not to argue but your logic doesn’t work. The bench is one of the big 4 and that is very poor for chest development, if you look at the studies of chest muscle recruitment bench is low down the list (when compared to Incline DB press for example). Although it feels great to shift a ton of weight on bench press. As for deadlifts, it provides very little lat and upper back recruitment and does provide the range of motion you get from RDLs. All this is what I’ve read from others by the way so I’m not claiming to be any kind of expert. For me though RDLs emphasise the best ‘feeling’ part of the deadlift really focusing on the hinge and hamstring lengthening. I used to have them as my back exercise in the big 4 but moved on mainly due to back issues. I’ll see if I can find the studies in T-nation and link them when I’m on the train this morning. [/QUOTE]
