So you want to perfect your Romanian Deadlift? This video is a step-by-step guide to providing you with my favourite drill to use and cues to make sure you are executing this movement perfectly!

If you're someone who avoids doing deadlifts because you're worried about hurting your back? This video is MADE FOR YOU!

1. Practice your hinge with a stick first - Making sure all 3 points are touching that stick as your hinge forward.
2. Feet placement about shoulder width apart.
3. Hand placement right outside of your feet - Or go by the markings on the barbell.
4. Keep spine neutral - Contract your transversus abdominis.
5. Now do that well-practiced HINGE! down while sliding the barbell down your legs (i.e. shave your legs) and keeping your neck in that neutral position (no looking at the mirror!).
6. Squeeze your butt as you hinge back up into standing.

Common mistakes to avoid:
1. Bar too far away from you
2. Rounding your back
3. Hyperextending low back at the end of the deadlift
4. Zig zag bar path
