How to Do Cable Romanian Deadlift

Form Cues

1. 1

   Set cable low, hinge at the hips pushing them back, keep the cable close to your legs and feel the hamstring stretch at the bottom

2. 2

   Keep a soft, fixed bend in the knees — the movement comes from the hips

3. 3

   Stop the descent once the hamstrings feel fully loaded

4. 4

   Drive the hips forward to return, squeezing the glutes at the top

Common Mistakes

• ●

  Bending the knees too much turning it into a squat — this is a hip hinge, keep a slight knee bend but push the hips back

• ●

  Rounding the lower back to chase more range — a flat back matters more than depth

• ●

  Letting the cable drift away from the legs instead of staying close throughout
