Romanian deadlift
Start standing, bar at the thighs, soft knees, ribs stacked over the pelvis.
- 1Push the hips back and slide the bar down the thighs.
- 2Stop when the hamstrings are taut and the back is still flat.
- 3Stand by squeezing the glutes, not by yanking the bar.
Easy to miss: Squatting it down with a deep knee bend, or rounding to touch the floor.
