Strength
Dumbbell Romanian deadlift
Practise the hip hinge used in your strength work.
Set up
Stand with the dumbbells close to your legs and soften your knees.
Keep in mind
- Send your hips back while keeping the weights close.
- Use a controlled range rather than trying to touch the floor.
- Stand by extending your hips; keep the movement steady.
What to check
Watch for turning the hinge into a deep squat or moving the weights away from your body.
Use it in your session
Follow the warm-up, target, effort and recovery in your own programme. Log actual results after doing the work. A past result is a reference, not an automatic load or pace prescription.
