STOP DEADLIFTING like this!

Romanian deadlifts are a great exercise to develop the hamstrings, but oftentimes they are incorrectly performed. One of the many mistakes people make with this is the inability to properly hinge at the hips. In order to fully stretch and contract the hamstrings, it's important to hinge the hips back as opposed to merely bending your knees forward. When your knees push forward, the exercise turns into more of a squat which places significantly more tension on your quads. To prevent this, really focus on hinging your hips back, and just slightly bend your knees while keeping your shins vertical so that they don't push forward and the tension remains entirely in your hamstrings.

Try it out and let me know how it goes! #Shorts #Gym

I mean, there is a difference between Romanian deadlift and deadlift.

This helps a lot with us newbies. Some of us have never touched a barbell or dumbbell before now. There's a lot of channels devoted to the advanced lifters but not a lot of easy to follow info for newbs or intermediates.

Oh my goodness. I’m so glad you addressed this.

Shins vertical is the advice i needed to learn better form

[heffalump]

YOOO, 10 videos on that topic, but yours is the most helpful

[SportGuyDMV]

Thanks, I was using too much back but once you keep those shins vertical I feel it so much more in the hammies

[Anne_Onymous]

explains why my quads always max out first. I'm definitely bending mine too much. I thought it was just giving myself more range of motion lol

[adambaker]

I can finally feel my hamstrings after weeks of trying to figure out rdl form ty

[nanomachines]

This was a great, simple explanation, thank you

[hubakukor]

What you show here as the correct RDL is a stiff legged deadlift. So its not necesserily the good form, its just different.

I literally just got home from the gym 😭wish I saw this earlier my hamstring lost some gains

[oriigingaming]

Thanks man. I tried romanian deadlift for the first time yesterday and I can tell I clearly did something wrong because my hamstrings don't feel sore at all. This is helpful.

[Fishie]

Love how your videos are short and to the point

[livelift]

Those are RDL'S its just a different style. Conventional deads your hips are supposed to drop

[lukasodom]

Still makes my lower back very very tense and i feel like I’m doing it correctly

[noobgorkhali]

[lukes]

To the point focusing on all the common issues. Good stuff.

[akshsinecure]
