PL2 - Leg Press vs RDL

I’m currently running PL2 and I’m on week 5 and seeing some good progress so far. So thanks for that!

As I look ahead to the coming weeks, I see that day 4 exercise 3 can be either leg press or RDL. I can’t tell from the wording which would be the best choice given my situation. I have access to the leg press and have a history of back tweaks every few months (happened again last week). However, I don’t tend to goodmorning my squats and that slot eventually moves to SLDL anyway.

Given that information, would you recommend selecting leg press to avoid additional back fatigue? Or RDL to gradually expose my back to more stress at a slightly smaller range of motion leading up to the SLDLs so as to better tolerate the increase in pulling volume overall?

I’m really enjoying the template so far, so thanks again!

If you have access to a leg press, I’d use that. RDL’s are cool, but in that slot a leg press or belt squat would be money.

Great, thanks! I have access to both but really enjoy the belt squat. So I’ll run with that.
