Romanian Deadlifts: Posterior Chain Powerhouse (2/7)

Romanian deadlifts are an exceptional compound movement that engages multiple muscle groups simultaneously. By focusing on the hip hinge movement, this exercise develops incredible posterior chain strength, targeting glutes, hamstrings, and lower back muscles. The controlled eccentric movement helps improve muscle flexibility and builds functional strength essential for daily activities and athletic performance.

Method

• Stand with feet hip-width apart, holding a barbell
• Slight bend in knees, hinge at hips
• Lower bar down legs while keeping back straight
• Feel stretch in hamstrings and glutes
• Return to standing position by driving hips forward
• Perform 3-4 sets of 8-10 repetitions
