Fix your Romanian Deadlift technique @bodysculptorben.
.
The romanian deadlift is a fantastic exercise which places more emphasis on the hamstrings and glutes compared to a traditional deadlift. It is also an exercise which many gym goers/ clients struggle with the technique on. Here are a few key points to keep the technique tight.
.
1️⃣ Keep knees bent at about 20 degrees. (don’t squat it on the way down).
2️⃣ Keep the bar in close to your body. If you don’t then its going to be tougher on that lower back
3️⃣ Stick bum out and keep back flat. Rounding that lower back region with a heavy weight in your hand is more likely to lead to injury.
.
Now here is a little mental que i like to get my clients thinking about. On the way down, push your bum backwards towards the back of the room. Imagine someone has a rope around your waist (no nothing kinky) and is pulling your hips slightly backwards. .
How low you go is going to differ from person to person depending on the flexibility of the hamstrings. Experiment with it and try to keep the emphasis on the hamstrings, not the lower back. If the lower back is aching then you potentially don’t have the technique locked down or you have gone too low.
.
Hopefully this video helps you master the RDL. Consider practicing with a stick before progressing on to doing it weighted.

success is the best revenge? since I was a young teenager I’ve loved this quote and worked a lot for it too. Today I reflected over it and thought ‘I don’t even give a fuck about revenge or beating people in my past’ I guess after having accomplished some sort of success you outgrow those people and your accomplishment are worth so much more than to reflect and compare yourself to the past. I see myself in a different light now.

How’s your deadlift looking?
@Regrann from @achievefitnessboston - THE ULTIMATE DEADLIFT CHECKLIST!!
-
What’s up Achievers?! @jasonlpak here and today we have a 6-part checklist for a perfect set of conventional deadlifts!
-
1️⃣FEET HIP WIDTH APART AND BARBELL OVER MID-FOOT: In order to establish a strong base of support, start with your feet under your hips with toes forward or slightly flared out. Step up to the bar so that it’s close to your shins and over your mid-foot.
-
2️⃣HINGE YOUR HIPS BACK: Initiate the deadlift by sitting back with your hips. This will help you to load your posterior chain (glutes and hamstrings) and get into a strong starting position.
-
3️⃣GRAB THE BAR JUST OUTSIDE YOUR SHINS: The wider your hands, the greater the demand on your mid and upper back. Keeping your hands in closer will help make the pull feel easier than if they were out too wide.
-
4️⃣ALIGN YOUR ARMPITS DIRECTLY OVER THE BAR: This will set you up for a more vertical and direct bar path, which makes the deadlift much more efficient.
-
5️⃣PUSH INTO THE FLOOR AND STAND TALL: Instead of thinking about “lifting” the bar off the floor, think about “pushing” your feet into the ground. The harder you push down into the floor, the stronger your deadlift will be. Stand tall at the top and look straight ahead to practice good alignment.
-
6️⃣INITIATE THE DESCENT WITH ANOTHER HIP HINGE: Once you’ve gotten to the top of the deadlift, lower it back down by hinging your hips back, loading your posterior chain again, and getting right back into your original starting position.
-
We hope this checklist helps you out the next time you’re going through a set of deadlifts! Share with a friend who would appreciate it. And until next time, peace, love, and muscles ✌️
