Stiff Legged Dead Lift / Romanian Dead Lift

Romanian Deadlift/Stiff Legged Deadlift Technique - This is a mass building exercise for the hamstrings & is also effective for strengthening the lower back. To achieve good posture, make sure that the bar stays in contact with the legs, the knees are slightly bent, and that you bend at the hip joint only. Go down slowly maintaining control, bringing the bar to 3-4 inches below the knees, before coming back to the top. This exercise also works the glutes, the lower back (erector spinae), & the lats as well. Remember that throughout the movement you should keep your chest up, and chin up. Don'ts: Do not bend the knees too much, round out with the lower back, or use improper posture. Adhering to good technique will not only help you achieve good development of the hamstrings, but it will also help you avoid injury. Nick Jones - World Bodybuilding Champion & Kymbel Hunt
