– Romanian DL = Stiff-legged deadlift from top position to below the knees (not all the way down) and back up. Allow your knees to bend slightly to initiate the movement, then push your hips back to maintain vertical shins as the bar moves below the knees. Extend back to the starting position.
– Focus on maintaining good tension on the hamstrings/glutes through the movement (don’t pause at the top).
– Keep an overhand grip on these (you can use hook grip).
