Homeless Kodo May 2023 8:14pm, 5 May 2023 2,035 posts	0 Homeless Kodo Probably no need to adjust your technique. It’s not possible to hip hinge and not work your gluteals. Where about sin your Hamstrings is the DOMS?
Sharkie May 2023 8:34pm, 5 May 2023 21,338 posts	0 Sharkie I was thinking the same thing - perhaps Sally's hammies are just not as strong as her glutes therefore on a compound move she's feeling it most in the weaker muscles.
Sharkie May 2023 8:36pm, 5 May 2023 21,339 posts	0 Sharkie Personally I'd only worry about my technique if I felt it in my lower back. I was asking my coach about RDLs today. I'd become convinced I was getting them all wrong. Wasn't sure which hand the dumbbell weight should be in, was worried my hips were twisting and my lifted leg wasn't parallel to the ground.
quimby May 2023 9:47pm, 5 May 2023 6,244 posts	0 quimby I have issues with my grip with RDLs - I can't hold on for very long. Yes, I'm using straps, it's still difficult. Coach recommended some "No Sweat" - liquid that goes sticky. It worked great for the RDLs, so today I thought I'd try some to improve my grip when I did some pull-up work (not full ones, still working on that). So I applied some, climbed on my cube, reached up, grabbed the bar, did some hanging with knee raises, then... oh. Hands stuck to the bar. I managed to peel them off, carefully, but I did have a little panic that I might need to call for help. That would have been embarrassing.

... a weights wire for women.

And in case you're wondering about that title, well, I like alliteration and one can be too po-faced about the use of girl/lady/woman.

Here's a strength standards for women thing Duracel found for us
