Hamstring Workout Staple: RDLs

When you’re doing RDLs, it’s important to go slow and controlled to really focus on mind to muscle and form. I don’t go super heavy on these because I don’t want to compromise my form. 🩷 #rdl #gym #fitnessjourney #legday

2025/1/25 Edited to

... Read moreRomanian Deadlifts (RDLs) are a fundamental exercise for building strength and flexibility in the hamstrings, glutes, and lower back. To maximize your workout, focus on a slow and controlled movement as this ensures proper form and engages the muscles effectively. Proper form is crucial to avoid injury and to gain the benefits of this exercise. When performing RDLs, ensure that your feet are hip-width apart, maintain a slight bend in your knees, and hinge at the hips rather than bending your back. By engaging your core, you can stabilize your spine throughout the movement. Incorporating RDLs into your leg day routine can significantly improve your overall strength and is beneficial for various lifts such as squats and deadlifts. It's also vital to progress gradually. Increase weights only when you feel confident in your form and execution. This combination of caution and progression will lead to sustainable gains in strength and muscle development.

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
