How to do it
The Romanian deadlift targets the hamstrings and glutes through hip flexion.
Standing with your feet hip-width apart, hold the barbell in front of your thighs with a shoulder-width grip and knees slightly bent.
Push your hips back while lowering the bar down along your legs with a flat back until you feel a stretch behind your thighs, then stand back up.
The bar stays close to your legs and your knees keep the same slight bend.
