Proper RDL (Romanian Deadlift) Form

If you’re just starting out in the gym, you no doubt have exercises that done feel natural that you’re trying to master. Hands down the movement it took me the longest to learn to do correctly (without feeling like my lower back was going to split in half) is RDL’s (Romanian Deadlifts), and deadlifts in general. Here are some tips to do this exercise correctly and safely:

1️⃣ Stand with your feet shoulder width apart.
2️⃣ Keep your toes straight.
3️⃣ Keep your spine/neck neutral
4️⃣ Don’t think about it as bending over at the waist; rather, you’re moving your hips back, which naturally makes your body bend over, then driving them forward, which makes you stand upright.
4️⃣ Squeeze & contract glutes as you push through & come upright.
5️⃣ Don’t go down too low for the sake of going down too low. Go as low as you can while still being able to keep your spine/neck neutral.
