RDLS ARE HARD 😭

2025/2/17 Edited to

... Read moreRomanian Deadlifts (RDLs) can be tough for many people mastering proper form is key for preventing injury and maximizing effectiveness. Ensuring your back is straight and using your hips to push back are critical aspects of the movement. Start with lighter weights to focus on your technique. Incorporate mobility exercises to improve hamstring flexibility, enabling you to perform RDLs more effectively. Seeking feedback from experienced lifters or using a mirror can also be beneficial. Moreover, consider varying your grip and stance to target different muscles within the glutes and hamstrings. Utilize hashtags like #RDLFormTips and #GlutesGrowth to connect with others and access valuable resources. Remember, practice leads to improvement, so keep pushing through the challenge!

That AOL start up is pretty accurate 😂😂😂😭. Your form is pretty great! I’m still getting the swing of it but what helps me is: - to do this pelvis tuck, it reinforces and assures that my core is tight. - I lightly tuck/keep that diagonal gaze to the ground - keep my elbows tucked into my sides (like you’re trying to hold/squeeze an orange in btwn your pits 😂) - go slow on the way down (which you’re doing perfectly!) - when I come up I don’t come all the way up and do that weird humping air motion; I keep tension in the movement - also when I come up, I push my heels into the ground so I am not experiencing that wobbly/falling feeling Also, I played around with doing them with dumbbells, kettlebells, and the bar to find what worked best for me. Good luck Queen!!! You got this ❤️

Improve your RDL’s to Build your Legs & Glutes🔥
I wanna highlight the biggest differences between the correct & incorrect form: 1️⃣. Hip Hinging: which basically means pushing your hips backwards as you are going down (your should drive your hips back until you feel your hamstrings/glutes burn) 2️⃣. Keeping a Neutral spine: Keeping you

Lower Back Burn During RDLs? 🤷🏻‍♀️
The RDL creates stress in the lower back and upper glutes because it is a hip-hinge movement that loads the posterior chain while the spine stays in an isometric position. As you push your hips back, the gluteus maximus and proximal hamstrings lengthen under load, which increases mechanical tension
