Step-by-step instructions
- 01Stand tall with the bar at the thighs, hands just outside the legs, knees slightly bent, and the trunk braced before you hinge.
- 02Push the hips back to lower the bar to just below the knees while keeping the spine long, the bar close, and the hamstrings loaded.
- 03Hold that Romanian deadlift position and row the bar into the lower ribs or upper waist without jerking the torso higher.
- 04Lower the bar back to straight arms while keeping the same hinge angle and shoulder position.
- 05Drive the hips forward to stand tall, squeeze the glutes at the top, and reset before the next repetition.
