How to Do a Romanian Deadlift？

The Romanian deadlift is a barbell or free weight workout that exercises the glutes, hamstrings, and core muscles.Unlike the conventional deadlift, you perform the Romanian deadlift with only a slight bend in the knees.

It’s time to add Romanian deadlifts to your workout routine:

1. Stand with your feet roughly hip-distance apart, your knees slightly bent, and the barbell in front of you.

2. The hips are hinged forward to keep your spine long and straight when your torso reaches the floor. Grip the barbell with your hands apart, plugging your shoulders back and down to stabilize your spine and brace your core. Look down and slightly forward to align your neck with the rest of your back and avoid overextension.

3. Tighten the gluteus maximus, hamstrings and core, touch your feet on the ground, stand up straight, and lift heavy objects near the upper thighs. Squeeze your hips and lock your hips at the top.

4. Repeat the action by lowering the weight somewhere between your knees and toes (depending on your flexibility), with the torso parallel to the ground, while keeping the back flat, the knees slightly bent, and the core tightening.
