Barbell Sumo Romanian Deadlift
Gym Exercise Card
Equipment
The Barbell Sumo Romanian Deadlift targets the posterior chain, focusing on hip hinge mechanics with a wider stance than a traditional deadlift. It primarily improves hamstring and glute strength, while also engaging the back for stabilization.
How to do it
- Stand with feet wider than shoulder-width apart, toes slightly pointed out, and hold the barbell with both hands.
- Keep your back straight and core engaged as you hinge at the hips to lower the barbell along your shins.
- Lower until you feel a stretch in your hamstrings, then drive through your heels to stand back up, keeping the bar close to your legs.
