How to do it
Execution:
- 1Hold the barbell in front of your body with a pronated grip, feet hip-width apart.
- 2Push your hips back and lower the bar close to your legs, keeping a slight knee bend throughout.
- 3Go down until you feel a hamstring stretch, then return by squeezing your glutes.
Tip: the RDL targets hamstrings and glutes — if you feel it in your quads, you're squatting too much.
