  1. Rows semi-strict... is that with the rhomboids fully contracted but the bar not necessarily in contact with the chest?

    Looking forward to the GM video. I haven't done them in a while and will be bringing them back soon.

  2. Hey Paul,
    Do you use a mixed grip on those shrugs? Would alternating the under and over hands prevent any imbalance or does it not matter?
    Thanks for the quality info and perspective you put out daily. It's appreciated !

  3. How would you structure (sets, reps, distance, etc) the strongman event day you published as part of your Strongman Training Routine listed in Strength, Life, Legacy? Thanks.

  4. Hey Paul, looking forward to the vid as I have never used Good Mornings in my routine, I've always been kinda intimidated by them!!

    On a related question - stiff legs OR deficit deads? What's the difference, and do you use both?

    Cheers mate.

    1. What's the difference? Well one is just a deadlift where you stand on something to increase the ROM, and the other one is where you keep the legs somewhat rigid (you know, not bend em?) to get more hamstring involvement.
