Romanian deadlifts
Hip-hinge barbell movement
Romanian deadlifts are a weightlifting exercise targeting the hamstrings and lower back.
Unlike conventional deadlifts, the barbell starts from standing position and descends only to mid-shin, with legs kept nearly straight throughout.
The movement emphasizes the hip hinge and eccentric hamstring stretch: I added Romanian deadlifts to my leg day routine.
Often abbreviated RDLs.
