Db B-Stance RDL (Romanian Deadlift)

 

How to perform:

Setup

Feet about shoulder width apart, the working holding doing 70% of the work and the rear leg 30% with the toes aligned with the front heels. Dumbbells close to your body with knee very slightly bent, back in neutral spine position, engage your core.

Movement

Initiate the movement with a hip hinge by driving the hips back as you bend forward keeping your trunk straight and the dumbbells stay near your legs, once back is near parallel to the floor and weight is just below your knees, stop and return to the start by activating your glutes and keeping trunk straight as you drive your hips back forward. Repeat the same with the other leg.

Tip

Do not round your back as you descend with the weights, or as you initiate movement back up to the start position

To initiate the movement, pretend like you are holding your hips into your back pocket
