Hoping someone can shed some light on a confusing element in my training right now.
My RDL and deadlift numbers are the same. Same rep range (140kg x 8), first movement in the day, RDL’s are beltless. (An aside - my squat (to parallel) numbers (150kg x 8) are higher than my deadlift as well)
I would think that a deadlift weight would be significantly higher than the RDL weight for the same reps.
Hard to hypothesize what could be going on from this limited information alone. There could be a skill component (depending on which you’ve trained more vs. less leading up to this), a technical / positioning issue off the floor in your conventional deadlift, or something else entirely. I think your best bet to get things analyzed and some individualized advice might be through the form check option, or (a bit less useful) might be our FB group.
