@madscientistofmuscle: 2 Bar "Landmine" Stiff-Legged Deadlift Machine. This is a cool hack to make what is essentially a hip hinge/deadlift machine. I find this setup really forces your body into a good hip hinge pattern as you pull up and back, especially when you do it with an SLDL style. The bars give you something to work against and they help to stabilize you, which I find helpful, especially if you have a hard time feeling the hamstrings kicking in on regular SLDLs or RDLs. The key is to start the exercise with a bit of bend in the knees, keeping them stiff as you come up. Make sure the action happens at the hips. The arc of the two bars set up like landmines guides your hinge movement very effectively. FYI, you don't need actual landmine attachments. I've just got the bar ends braced up against the bottom of my rack so they don't slide backwards. Make sure you don't brace them against something that can move or get damaged (you can wrap the ends in a towel, too). Because the load is between your grip and the bar end, the bars can't physically flip. For setup, I'm using a lat pulldown bar with the angled handles. I just hook it under the ends of the bars with the angled parts facing back and my hands just inside the bar ends. You could potentially just grip onto the actual bar ends themselves and that'll work just fine, but the fat end grip will limit how much weight you can use because it will challenge your grip strength a lot more. I found using the pulldown bar gave me the best feel and the best grip and it was super fast to just hook under. Definitely worth taking a crack at on your next leg day. --- Got a lagging muscle group? Give me 3 weeks and we'll blow it up...
