How to Do the Romanian Deadlift

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and your toes pointing forward. Hold the barbell with an overhand grip, hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart. Bend at the hips, keeping your back straight and your knees slightly bent. Lower the barbell towards the ground, keeping it close to your body. Feel the stretch in your hamstrings as you lower the barbell. Once you feel a stretch in your hamstrings, push your hips forward and stand up straight. Squeeze your glutes at the top of the movement. Lower the barbell back down to the starting position and repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
