I do not have my guys train the posterior musculature ‘heavy’ because I believe it can quickly become dangerously close to compromising the quality and injury potential (hamstrings) of the alactic field based training (whether it is linear sprints, or specialized movement drills)

The heaviest weights we use on the RDL are the equivalent of bodyweight + 40lbs on the barbell.

We only RDL for 4 weeks in our first off-season block pre-spring ball and again for the first 4 off-season weeks of summer training. Back raises on a 45 hyper and GHR are performed year round during auxiliary training and continue to be when the RDLs go away.

I also very much like the partner resisted reverse hyper (as Charlie demonstrated so often); however, this, as a whole, is not performed quite as frequently in the rotation because the 45hyper device and GHR device present greater logistical ease (don’t require partner).

I must also note that I do not have my skill players perform the GHR as I feel that the structural demand increases the possibility of hamstring pull.

It’s important to note that the posterior musculature may become very ‘strong’ void of the typical ‘heavy’ training; hence the value of sub-maximal efforts. I’ve had more than one skill player be able to lift me (255lbs) off the ground while performing partner reverse hypers.

Something I have been preaching for a long time but people laughed at me when we were doing rdl’s with 155-225lbs.
