Romanian Deadlift - Hamstrings


  • Place a barbell on the floor in front of you.
  • You may stand on the box.
  • Use a grip, little wider than the shoulder width, to hold the barbell.
  • Bend your knees. Keep your shins vertical. Maintain the hips and the back straight.
  • Lift the bar using your hips. Keep the back straight throughout the exercise.
  • Use a steady and controlled movement to lift. Avoid moving fast.
  • Keep your arms straight. Stand upright.
  • Push the hips back to lower the bar. Bend only your knees a little; do not squat.
  • Breathe deeply in at the start of the movement.
  • Keep your chest up.
  • While lowering, hold your breath.
  • Breathe out on completion of the movement.
  • Always use lightweights to start the exercise until you get used to it.
