Romanian Deadlift

The best builder of hamstring and glute strength through the hinge.

How to perform it

1. 1Stand tall holding the bar at the top of a deadlift.
2. 2Push the hips back while keeping the bar close to the thighs.
3. 3Lower until you feel a strong hamstring stretch.
4. 4Drive the hips forwards to stand tall again.

Coaching notes

• A soft knee bend stays constant throughout.
• Stop lowering when the back wants to round.
