How To RDL
Gym Shorts videos provide short video demonstrations of correct form for various exercises.
Follow these steps:
- Start with the bar in the rack just above your knees
- Grip: Grab the bar outside your knees (straps are often used)
- Take two short steps back
- Big breath; chest up!
- Send hips back; slide bar down your legs
- Slow descent…then fire up
- Always maintain a perfectly flat back
