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!

My trainer told me that I struggled with these because my hips were tight.

The leg you are not using put it a foot with behind and stand on your tippy toes on the back foot. I learned by isolating and doing one leg at a time.
