Romanian Deadlift

Stand with feet hip-width apart, holding the bar at hip height with a shoulder-width grip. Hinge at the hips and push your glutes back, lowering the bar along your thighs while keeping a slight knee bend. Lower until you feel a strong stretch in your hamstrings, then drive your hips forward to return to standing.

Pro Tips

• This is a hip hinge, not a squat — minimize knee bend
• Keep the bar in contact with your thighs throughout
• Feel the stretch in your hamstrings at the bottom, not your lower back
• Squeeze your glutes hard at the top to complete the rep
