Romanian Deadlift

Sequenza

1. 01 · grip

   Put a barbell in front of you on the ground and grab it using a pronated (palms facing down) grip that a little wider than shoulder width. Tip: Depending on the weight used, you may need wrist wraps to perform the exercise and also a raised platform in order to allow for better range of motion.

2. 02 · start

   Bend the knees slightly and keep the shins vertical, hips back and back straight. This will be your starting position.

3. 03 · lift

   Keeping your back and arms completely straight at all times, use your hips to lift the bar as you exhale. Tip: The movement should not be fast but steady and under control.

4. 04 · lower

   Once you are standing completely straight up, lower the bar by pushing the hips back, only slightly bending the knees, unlike when squatting. Tip: Take a deep breath at the start of the movement and keep your chest up. Hold your breath as you lower and exhale as you complete the movement.

5. 05 · repeat

   Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.
