Phased review

The technique of the Romanian deadlift differs slightly from the classic version with dumbbells or a barbell. The technique of classic exercises provides the maximum lowering of the pelvis, with the barbell placed on the floor. The Romanian variant is characterized in that the projectile should be deleted on the floor, but only up to mid-calf. Clearly the exercise demonstrated in the video. Below are phased technique exercises:

1. Starting position: feet shoulder width apart, knees should be slightly bent, thus redistributing the load and center of gravity. Ensure that the back was always smooth. Bent back is a fairly common mistake for beginners. To prevent this try to look forward, not feet. You should also avoid excessive bending of the back in the lumbar.
2. Take a barbell grip on top or a dumbbell. Try to keep the projectile as close as possible to the thigh.
3. On inhale, begin to bend the body and lower the shell to the level of mid-calf. The pelvis is deflected backwards, but not down. And the caseis parallel to the floor.
4. Slowly return to the starting position. Try to strain and involve the gluteal muscles and biceps. Exhale.

Execution of the Romanian deadlift start only after warming up of muscles. The lack of warm up can lead to sprains and other injuries. For a start it will be enough for 6 or 10 repetitions. The optimal number of sets is 3-4. It is important to remember that haste in this case is misplaced. Do the exercise slowly, working through every muscle.

The Romanian deadlift is a common form of exercise. This option prefer to include in your training are women. This is because the focus is aimed at the gluteal muscles and muscles back of the thigh, including the biceps. The effect on the lumbar spine is minimal. Men also often impose this option. For injury prevention, correct technique, which is well demonstrated in the numerous videos.
