How to: Barbell Banded Romanian Deadlift
- Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, with a barbell positioned in front of you.
- Loop the resistance band around the bar and your hips.
- Hinge at the hips, lowering your torso while keeping your back straight.
- When you feel a stretch in your hamstrings, reverse the movement by squeezing your glutes to stand up.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Common Mistakes
- Rounding the back during the lift.
- Not fully engaging the glutes at the top of the movement.
- Using too much weight which may lead to poor form.
Modifications
- Use lighter weights to start until comfortable with the movement.
- Perform the exercise without the band for simpler mechanics.
Tips
- Maintain a neutral spine throughout the movement.
- Focus on hinging at the hips and not bending at the waist.
- Ensure that the band provides adequate resistance without compromising form.
