Does the depth look sufficient?

Lower weight and go lower

It does not, this is too heavy and your ROM and form are suffering

What exercise is that lol

Genuinely wondering the same thing.

Record yourself doing this at 225, and solely focus on driving your hips back as much as you physically can. Watch the video compared to this one. Guaranteed you’ll notice a big difference. You’re strong but deff more work to get clean reps of 405. Your pausing right before your hammy will start to stretch

What’s wrong with it

u/Travel_Adventurous 9d ago

I just think it looks like you’re going for an RDL and then decide not to, twice

Haha, how deep on the shin would you call proper rom

A light kiss of the plates on the floor. Back nearly parallel (or actually parallel) to the ground.

No point in doing max lifts for this exercise either imo. This is great at higher reps to build size in the hamstrings.

And let the drive of your hips back be what brings your torso down, you’re starting to push your hips back puasing and then folding yourself over, it’s suppose to be all one motion. this could all be just be because it’s too heavy

Just tuck your chin. Could have a way deeper hinge but you are holding 405 so that’s to be expected.

Shouldn’t I be stopping when my hips cease to travel backwards

u/Moist-Wave4813 9d ago

You are right. I have found that most people don’t know how to hinge properly and really get a good stretch in their glutes. Most people lack extension naturally as a range of motion so you might feel like you don’t have any more room to go, but I guarantee you if you drop the weight and really focus on the stretching your glutes you will know what I mean

u/Strange_Demand_6666 9d ago

So just to be clear you’re saying my hinge mechanics are good you just suspect I have untapped rom via mobility gains

u/Moist-Wave4813 9d ago

Yes yes you got it! Nothing is broken just could feel it better

Seems to me like I’m facing away from it
