Thighs (back)

Romanian Deadlift

Starting position

  • Bar in front of the thighs, feet hip-width apart.
  • Knees slightly bent and fixed.

Execution

  • Push the hips back, lower the bar close to the legs.
  • Once the hamstrings are stretched, drive the hips forward.

Common mistakes

  • Rounded back.
  • Bending the knees too much: then it becomes a deadlift.
  • Bar drifting away from the body.
