How to perform the romanian deadlift (rdl)
- Stand with feet hip-width apart and hold a barbell with an overhand grip, hands shoulder-width apart. Keep your knees slightly bent and your back straight. Hinge at your hips and lower the barbell down the front of your legs, maintaining a slight bend in your knees. Lower the barbell until you feel a stretch in your hamstrings, keeping the bar close to your legs. Engage your hamstrings and glutes to return to the starting position. Repeat.
