12 Days Of Fitness – Exercise #11 – ROMANIAN DEADLIFT

The Romanian deadlift is quite a mouthful. Call it RDL for short. Stand with a barbell, dumbbells, sandbag, or other implement in front of you with arms extended (Picture 1). Slightly bend the knees, but don’t bend them once you start the next part of the movement.

Push your hips behind you and keep the weight in your heels. Keep the spine long and allow the bar to lower to or below the knees. Everyone’s range of motion will be different. The key indicator of how low to go is watch the spine. Once the middle of the back rounds, that is the end of the motion.

Reverse the action and rise back up to a standing position by activating the glutes and hamstrings.
