It's just a personal preference. I feel the RDL is safer than the SDL and I can use more weight without worrying about my back rounding out, so I can go heavier. The other main thing is since I do quite a bit of oly lifting, I tend to follow what works for other oly lifters and the RDL has always been used as one of the main accessory tools. The main thing is the RDL just feels better to me than the SDL.
It's hard to quantify which movement is the king of the back. I'm going to have to go with deadlift because it covers so much of the back from the lower to the lats and traps. However, a successful back training will include at least partially some of these movements-bent over bb row and chins/pull ups. The 1 arm db row is nice for isolating the lats without a lot of bicep assistance and the stiff arm cable pulldown is also a really nice one to add. | Yeah, a lot of powerlifters i seen used sumo.
Sorry for the hijack Roonaldo   |

| | Give your workout a try and see how it goes. Good luck on the HIIT after legs.
It looks much better with the two days of rest. |

| | | Looks good to me apart from the abs issue.
They don't need a whole day to themselves - i don't do nay direct abs work myself, as, in my opinion, a sensible routine with the use of free-weights utilises the abs enough (for balance and control). Other than that, it looks impressive. |

| | alright I'll try the new routine out. hiit and legs on same day shouldn't be a problem as I don't get very sore after working them with weights or hiit anymore. Abs aren't an issue either as they no longer have a whole day to themselves.
Cheers for your advice. |

| | | Routines going well so far, but like evolution suggested I'm ready to improve my legs day by replacing the wide leg squats for something else.
In case you forgot, I already do:
close leg squat - 4 sets of 14
calf raises - 4 sets of 20
leg extensions - 5 sets of 14
I just need something now that is going to work the hamstrings. What would you suggest? I don't really like the look of the deadlifts though because it looks like its putting a lot of pressure on the back, and I already work the back on another day anyway.
What do you suggest? |

| | | Romanian deadlifts will hit your hamstrings really nicely. A 3-4X6-8 set up works nice for this movement. | | |
