Training with this exercise needs to be approached very carefully. After all, the key to safe training is the correct technique for performing the exercise. Today, we will talk about it, as well as about the main mistakes and features of this Romanian deadlift.
Benefits of Workout
Beginners confuse the Classic deadlift and Romanian deadlifts with a barbell. (Here in detail about all types of deadlifts with a bar).
At first glance, they are really similar but have a number of differences. The classic type of deadlift is done in the direction of movement from bottom to top on the legs bent at the knees. The pelvis drops low enough relative to the floor. At the next repetition, the bar actually touches the floor.
Unlike the classics, Romanian traction is carried out by moving from top to bottom exclusively on level legs, and the bar drops only to the middle of the lower leg.
Active and static action is on different muscle groups, depending on the type of Romanian deadlift chosen.
Deadlift with Dumbbells
It is carried out according to the same technique as the Romanian deadlift with a barbell. At the same time, it is considered a more traumatic and less effective exercise due to the uneven distribution of weight on the spine.
- Romanian deadlift on straight legs. The only different feature of the Romanian deadlift is perfectly flat legs without the slightest bend in the knee joints during the exercise.
- Romanian deadlift with a barbell. This is a polyarticular exercise. In this exercise workout the biceps femoris, extensors of the back, muscles of the lumbar and gluteal muscles participate to varying degrees.

An important feature of the Romanian deadlift is a large load on the lower back. Beginners are advised to first strengthen the muscles of the lower back with hyperextension. In addition, if there are injuries to the back, then it is wiser to completely abandon this exercise.
In the process of training, the largest muscle groups of the bodywork, and significant weights are used. This helps to generate tremendous amounts of energy, and also stimulates the endocrine system, and increases the release of growth hormone, testosterone, and other anabolic hormones into the blood.
