Yahhhhhhh Buddy thanks for viewing Chest bump, Chest bump, sorry it’s been so long since posting a vid, seasons been crazy looking forward to making a run at the Pac-10 tournament this week. GO BEARS! On to the complex, these three exercises are great to use as a complex to activate hamstrings, glutes, posterior chain. Use to warm-up your athletes as 3×4, keep the amount of weight low to help maximize correct movement. Constantly remind the athlete to keep bar close to body, weight on the heels, and to visualize hamstrings stretching during RDL portion of exercise. Thanks for viewing create a great day! -Coach T

Romanian Deadlift=RDL Improve Hamstring and Glute Strength!!!

The RDL is a great exercise to target the low back, glutes, and hamstrings!!!! When performing the RDL you want to setup the bar at a height easily removed from the rack, once the bar is in your hands you want your knuckles down, scaps engaged, elbows out, knees slightly bent. Slowly lower the bar keeping your knees slightly bent focusing on your hips going back, while keeping your back staight, the bar should glide along your body. Once the bar reaches mid shin focus on your hamstrings and glutes firing, pulling the bar to starting position. Create a great day and get after it!!!!!! -Coach T
