How to do a Romanian Deadlift

  1. Hold a dumbbell in each hand in front of your thighs.
  2. Stand with feet hip-width apart and soften your knees slightly.
  3. Push your hips back, letting the weights slide down your legs.
  4. Keep a neutral spine and the dumbbells close to your body.
  5. Lower until you feel a stretch in your hamstrings, around mid-shin.
  6. Drive your hips forward to stand tall and squeeze your glutes.
