Romanian Deadlift

Stand with feet hip-width apart, holding a barbell with an overhand grip at thigh level. Maintain a slight bend in your knees and a neutral spine.

1. Hinge at your hips, lowering the barbell by pushing your hips back.
2. Lower the bar until you feel a stretch in your hamstrings, keeping it close to your legs.
3. Return to the starting position by driving your hips forward.
4. Squeeze your glutes at the top of the movement.

• Keep your back straight.
• Imagine closing a car door with your butt.
• Keep the bar close to your body.

• Rounding the lower back.
• Bending the knees too much, turning it into a squat.
• Letting the bar drift away from the body.
