Legsintermediate

Romanian Deadlift

Muscles Worked

Front
Back
Primary: hamstrings, glutes, erector spinae

How to do it

Start standing with barbell in an overhand grip. Hinge at the hips, pushing them back, and lower the bar along your legs until you feel a strong hamstring stretch (typically mid-shin). Drive hips forward to return.

Form Tips

This is not a squat — your knees stay nearly straight (slight soft bend). Keep the bar close to your legs and your back flat throughout.
