Thanks for stopping by!!!!! Romanian deadlift or RDL’s with dumbbells are a great exercise to target the hamstrings and glutes. These muscles tie directly into jumping higher and running faster. Slightly bend knees to take pressure off your lower back and to also insure that your back is “set”. Lower the dumbbells to mid shin level and visualize your hamstrings and glutes firing to pull the dumbbells back up your legs. This is a controlled movement exercise be aware of what muscles are working and be smooth with your movements. Create a great day- Coach T
