Romanian deadlift (Stiff Legged Barbell Deadlift) Guide
- Exercise Type: Compound - engages and works multiple muscle groups at the same time.
- Targeted Muscle Groups:
- primary: hamstring, gluteal
- secondary: quadriceps, lower back
- tertiary: trapezius, upper back, forearm
How to perform?
From the standing position, the bar is lowered to about knee-height where the hamstrings are at maximal stretch without rounding the back, developing a natural bend in the legs without squatting, then returning to standing. The Romanian deadlift is named for Nicu Vlad. Because the workout begins from a standing position rather than from a dead stop, it is alternatively called an undead lift.
