Hello all,
I've seen some talk of SLDLs on the Forum recently, and looked up proper form and so on. I thought that many of the images I found on Google of the 'T' position created by the bottom position of the drill looked really cool and impressive; I tried a couple myself, and found them harder than I thought I would, though I did manage to do them.
My question is, given that StrongFirst has always put hip hinge moves such as the swing and deadlift on the 1st place podium over squats, why then didn't the SLDL at least get a mention in The Naked Warrior? Or even perhaps get put in instead of the pistol (much like how PTTP included the deadlift over the squat)? Additionally, the SLDL isn't listed as one of the 'core moves' in the SFB curriculum...
Does the SLDL get too easy with BW only once one has done them a few times and got the balance/coordination sorted? Or does the pistol simply offer more overall benefits?
Would be great to hear more info about this move/why it hasn't been given much of a spotlight!
Thanks,
Harry
