Romanian Deadlift
Lower the barbell while keeping your legs straighter than in a conventional deadlift.
The Romanian deadlift is a compound exercise targeting the hamstrings and glutes, ideal for building lower body strength and improving flexibility.
How to do:
1. Stand with your feet hip-width apart and hold a barbell with a hip-width grip. 2. Keep your back straight and chest up. 3. Lower the barbell by hinging at your hips while keeping a slight bend in your knees. 4. Lower the bar until you feel a stretch in your hamstrings. 5. Return to the starting position by driving your hips forward. 6. Repeat for 8–12 reps per set, performing 3–4 sets total.Tips:
- Keep the barbell close to your legs throughout the movement. - Avoid rounding your back to prevent injury. - Focus on hinging at the hips rather than bending at the knees. - Control the movement for a full range of motion and better muscle activation.- Level
