Romanian deadlifts are honestly some of my favourite workouts!! When you get it right and feel it in your hamstrings it's so satisfying!

[Signingoff]

I knew I was doing something wrong cause I barely felt it in my hamstrings. I’m gonna try to do this again slow but steady. Trying to do leg day the right way

[kairybencosme]

One of the best things I learned while perfecting my RDL’s is learning to stick out my pelvis and booty in a controlled manner in order to really get that hamstring tension without hurting my back. Best thing I did before even picking up the weights was putting my hands on my hips with my thumb facing forward and pushing my pelvis back with my feet shoulder width apart while doing the RDL motion. Not only did a neutral back help but having your feet aligned and shoulder width apart is key and this is by far my favorite exercise!!

[BratDee]

I definitely think my mistake is the pelvic tilt. I feel the exercise in my lower back rather than my glutes and hamstrings

[srslybri]

someone told me to rotate at the hip like you’re pushing your car door closed with your butt and it was pretty helpful!

[crochetloveeee]

i've seen so many videos but this one is the one that finally got my form right thank you blessings watch this video to get your form right yall!!!

[DCamp]

Please keep up the amazing job! Your tutorials are a major part of the reason that I have so much more confidence in the gym now. People are amazed because I am a larger woman and my form is great and I am comfortable around the equipment...now! 😂🤦🏿 Baby steps! I am making progress and I want to thank you for being one of the keys to my success! Bless up! 🙏🏿 😇

You are my personal trainer since at the gym those suck!! lmaoo, thank you so much!!!

[Greeeebs]

Thanks for these videos, they are super helpful. I was actually struggling big time with getting the RDLs right with my trainer and this captures pretty much everything that I was doing wrong

[sparklingunicornss]

thank you so much for this!!! i used to do my RDLs on preloaded barbells which were a lot smaller, but i got stronger and moved up to free barbells with huge weights and my form has been so bad. i couldn't figure out what was wrong. i was definitely doing mistake #1 :") it's hard to keep the barbell close to the thighs when its so heavy

thank u!

[katerinecenteno]

Came here to learn how to do the rdl! I hurt my back today by trying to do them

[SodanyLove]

I’m glad I came across this 😊. I’ve been doing it wrong and was wondering why my lower back keeps hurting.

[jayschauer]

Thank you! I was watching other RDL videos and they all tell you what to do, but I needed to know what NOT to do lol because I make all these mistakes
