Instructions

  1. Executing Romanian Deadlifts

    • 1

      Place a barbell on the ground in front of you. The weight of the barbell is your preference, as it is suggested you start light till you perfect the form. Stand with your feet 6 to 8 inches apart. Do not lock your knees.

      Bend over and grasp the barbell with your hands 12 to 14 inches apart. Be sure you have an even grip--the same amount of distance to the end of the barbell from both ends. Be sure your palms are facing in.

    • 3

      Stand up with the barbell in your hands. You will come to a fully erect position with the weight even with your waist.

    • 4

      Bend over to complete the rep. Be sure not to round your back out, as the heavier weights can result in back damage.

      Repeat this step through six to eight reps. You can go to higher reps at a lower weight to help with toning.
