Even though I'd seen the lift on Pavel's videos, I'd never considered it a "must do" lift -- on first blush, it's simply not as "sexy" as, say, snatches or even presses. <br /><br />However, once I began practicing the SLDL I became hooked. I progressed from barely managing a single 16 kg KB to now doing multiple reps with a 24kg in one hand and a 32 kg in the other. <br /><br />I'm finding that the lift is teaching me a wonderful combination of balance and strength. Without your coaching I probably never would have tried this lift.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34413602.post-25244838113164234632007-01-16T05:25:00.000-08:002007-01-16T05:25:00.000-08:00Randy, SLDL is a foundational movement IMO - good ...Randy, SLDL is a foundational movement IMO - good info on the impact on the Snatch. We are an experiment of one.<br />Geoff, The squats above 315 are with a belt - one back surgery is enough - a little insurance is a good thing. When my squat cycle is over I will be hitting a new cycle and one day of the week my lower body pull will be the SLDL.<br />Thanks David.<br />Rif - a couple of back off sessions and then a max day. Should be fun! Bang for your buck is the term for the SLDL. This squat cycle has been very good to me!Brett Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03192435046685650988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34413602.post-1036120989874854842007-01-16T04:54:00.000-08:002007-01-16T04:54:00.000-08:00awesome dude! thats a big jump from 405 last time....awesome dude! thats a big jump from 405 last time. excellent. and yes the sldl is a fantastic exercise. just wish my left knee could handle it. does so much with so little. just like the rest of the rkc drills eh?<br />well done. do you go up another week in squats?Mark Reifkindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13796716749125262941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34413602.post-76221681663295701282007-01-16T01:16:00.000-08:002007-01-16T01:16:00.000-08:00Learning by doing.

Obviously coming from one who has an experiential understanding of the subject.

Agreed...the stronger my hammies get the better I get at pulls and squats..especially explosive phase of snatch...big difference.<br /><br />"BTW - my own lifting and goals are a big part of my continuing Ed." <br />True for me too. I am my own lab rat...everybody is different I know, but I take the position that I am near the bottom end of the talent spectrum (for age and past sports experience reasons) so if it works for me I will try it out on my athletes/trainees. If it doesn't work for me, I will implement but with caution if it seems an appropriate alternative.<br /><br />Randy HauerRandy Hauerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07054371536437835929noreply@blogger.com
