HAMSTRINGS

Elevated Platform Barbell Romanian Deadlift

AdvancedBarbell

A barbell Romanian deadlift performed while standing on a raised platform, which extends the range of motion beyond a floor RDL. The deeper stretch loads the hamstrings, glutes, and lower back harder. An advanced posterior-chain builder that demands good hinge technique and flexibility.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Set a platform on the floor and stand on it with feet shoulder-width apart.

  2. 2

    Grip the barbell with an overhand grip, hands wider than your shoulders.

  3. 3

    Brace your core, flatten your back, and keep your chest lifted.

  4. 4

    Hinge your hips back and fold forward, lowering the bar until your hamstrings stretch fully.

  5. 5

    Hold the stretched position briefly.

  6. 6

    Drive your hips forward, squeezing your glutes and hamstrings, to return to standing.
