The Romanian Deadlift. This lift is a movement of the hip. Begin in the hang with the barbell or dumbbells.

  1. Stand Tall with a slight bend in the knees; not stiff legs
  2. Push the hips backward first
  3. Lower the weight toward your knees, keeping your hips going back
  4. Flat back, maintain a lumbar curve or at least flat back with tight core muscles
  5. Weight is on the heels and shoulders are back, bar or db’s stay close to the body
  6. Stop before losing your lower back position and when you reach your hamstring range of motion; ideally slightly below the knee
  7. Return to the start position by reversing the movement
  8. Stay in control and don’t rush it
