Db Romanian Deadlift (RDL)

 

Setup

Feet about shoulder width apart, holding dumbbells 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

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
