there are soo many variations of rdls that target the glutes 🍑

✨dumbbell rdls are my personal fav✨

some tips:

•stand shoulder width apart

•brace your core

•think about pushing your hips back rather than bending over w/ your back

*imagine shutting a door only using your butt!!!*

•less bend in knees = hamstrings

more bend in knees = glutes

•keep weights close to shin

remember slow & controlled always wins 🤪

... Read moreDumbbell Romanian Deadlifts (RDLs) are a fantastic exercise for targeting the glutes and enhancing overall leg strength. For those seeking to maximize their gains, it's crucial to focus on proper technique. Maintaining a shoulder-width stance and engaging your core not only stabilizes your movement but also protects your back. Instead of merely bending at the waist, envision pushing your hips back as if shutting a door. Additionally, adjusting the bend in your knees can significantly impact which muscles are targeted: a slight bend engages the hamstrings, while a deeper bend places more emphasis on the glutes. It's also important to keep the weights close to your shins during the lift to promote a safer and more effective range of motion. Overall, the mantra of "slow and controlled" movement during your RDLs will yield the best results, helping you to build strength and size in your glute muscles. As you progress, consider incorporating variations of the RDL to keep your workouts engaging and challenging.
