If you’re looking for a simple but powerful move to build strength in your hamstrings, glutes, back & calves the Romanian Deadlift is a fantastic choice. The best part? You don’t need much equipment and it is suitable for beginners, intermediate & experts!

• Keep your legs stiff to better work your hamstrings
• Use a shorter range of motion to ease your lower back
• Maintain a neutral spine & keep the barbell close to your body as you lower it to avoid injury
• Engage your core to stabilise your body during the lift
• Start light, start with lighter weights to master the form before progressing
• Focus on shifting tension from your back to your lower body by keeping a straight back & hinging your hips
