Just taken a look at the good morning-wow my back would snap like a twig! Hyper extensions would be a maybe-I’ll try the one on the ball and see how that goes. Thankas very much for the advice and keep up the good work! Tried your tricep pulldown advice yesterday and got a lot more out of it than normal:)

@Ted. If your lower back is bad I take it you can’t perform ‘good mornings’ or hyper-extensions either?
If not, you can strengthen your lower back a little by lying on an exercise ball (face down). Hold a weight on the back of your head and slowly arch backwards – repeat.
Hope that helps,
Mark

First off-great website-so informative!!
Can anyone help me, I have a bad lower back so deadlifts etc are a straight no-can you provide an effective alternative to this exercise? I’m guessing not, it seems to be excellent at targeting multiple areas.

Hey Mark. For some reason every time I click on the deadlift video, it tells me that it is a private video. I signed up for your e-book and confirmed and everything. I don’t get it.

Yeah, the video quality wasn’t great in the original videos so I either want to re-record them or do gif animations for all the exercise execution videos. I’ll do these soon.

Yes just a few inches. It’s fine to do them off the floor if you can’t get elevated. Please ask any further questions at the forum.

oh ok thnx, also when you say to perform on a platform a few inches off the floor, what is the range of the elevation from the floor? 3-4 inches?

Absolutely, go to that section in the book – I’ve written about proper form for Stiff-Leg Deadlifts.

By: Mark McManus

Mark McManus — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 08:39:01 +0000

Thanks Mark

Yes Matt. Deadlifts will be in the updated version of Total Anabolism.
The best thing to do would be to replace Lat Pull Downs with Deadlifts and keep the barbell rows.
Hope that helps,
Mark

Hi Mark

Would you recommend to incorporate this into the work out
plan on back days, or are the bar rows and lat pull downs sufficent. I find that I am in and out in 30 mins on back day, it just doesn’t seem right…lol

I see white background.

Thanks

More good stuff. Great demo. Good to swap the grip around regularly too, (under and over the other way around) for balance. Thats another reason why I like the hex bar… its a really naturally, balanced grip. Deadlifts also work the biggest muscles, the glutes, like nothing else. When glutes thighs and back, all the biggest muscle groups, are firing at once, it’s bound to create adaption.

Thanks for the post – the background comes as white for me.

ATTENTION,
For the guys that were seeing the grey background, can you leave a quick comment to let me know if it’s still grey or is it white yet?
Cheers,
Mark
