Romanian Deadlift
1
The Romanian Deadlift (RDL) is a traditional barbell lift used to develop the posterior chain muscles. To perform a RDL, stand with your feet hip-width apart and hold a barbell at hip level. Maintain a slight bend in your knees, lower the barbell by moving your butt back until your torso is parallel to the floor, then drive your hips forward to return to the starting position. Keep your core tight and back straight throughout the movement.
