This exercise focuses on the posterior chain, specifically the hamstrings and glutes. It involves hinging at the hips with a slight bend in the knees, lowering a weight (barbell or dumbbells) towards the floor while keeping the back straight. RDLs build strength and flexibility in the hamstrings.

It involves kneeling with your ankles held in place and slowly lowering your upper body towards the floor, resisting the movement with your hamstrings. It requires a partner or a stable anchor to secure your ankles. 

Single-Leg Romanian Deadlifts

This variation of the RDL challenges balance and core stability while further isolating the hamstrings. It’s performed by hinging at the hips while lifting one leg behind you, maintaining a straight line from head to heel.

Glute bridges are a great exercise for beginners and advanced lifters alike. They can be performed with or without weight and primarily target the glutes and hamstrings. They involve lying on your back with knees bent and feet flat on the floor, then lifting your hips off the ground, squeezing your glutes at the top.
