SLDL Stiff Leg Dead Lift www.youtube.com/dl215

Sup folks, back again this time with some SLDL aka Stiff Leg Dead Lifts. These deadlifts are a killer workout for the butt and hamstrings, they kick my ass the next day and keep me sore for days and days and sometimes weeks, yeah they are that awesome. Well awesome for me, painful for my clients. lol

The following is a brief description of the benefits and how to perform a SLDL also known as a Romanian Dead Lift:

The RDL or Romanian Dead Lift is one of the best legs and butt exercises. Out of all the best leg exercises it is the best hamstring exercise because it is a functional, mutli-joint movement. Many women claim that the RDL really helps reduce cellulite and tighten up the backside.



The RDL is an advanced movement which takes proper instruction and practice to master.



Start: You can either have a loaded barbell or dumbbells on the floor or in a low hang position. Keep your legs in a slightly bent position for the duration of the movement. It is essential to have your shoulders stabilized in a retracted (together in back) position for the duration of the movement as well.

Begin the motion: It is essential to have a super tight drawn in core as you begin this motion. Stick your butt backwards lowering the bar or dumbbells as close too your body as possible. Only lower the bar to where you can keep the strict form. Raise the weight back up, at the top of the motion it is very important you retract your shoulder blades (squeeze them together) and contract your glutes.


Well, thanks for reading and watching. Peep the other videos at:
