You need to be pushing your butt back a bit more, and bending your knees a bit more. At the moment, you don't have much bend in your knees, which means you can't generate much force through your hamstrings, and you're probably therefore pulling the weight up with your back more than anything.

 

It might help for you to lower the weight a little bit, slow your reps down, and really focus on pushing your hips back so that you can then use your hamstrings to pull yourself back to the starting position. Check out the video below and try to copy my form with your RDLs.

 

Thanks Scott =)) I think I get it now. Definitely will try it out on my next training day =))

Hey guys =)) It's me again, I have tried the Romanian Deadlift and this is my video

The problem is my lower back still got the most pressure =(( I think next time I should push my butt back even more and squeeze my hamstring as hard as I?

Help me guys :)) Thanks

Well one thing is, it might help if you slow down the movement a little bit so you can REALLY focus on your form. You might also need to lower the weight a little bit until you have it spot on where you can do it without getting back pain.

 

Another thing you should do is keep your head down - don't look in that mirror in front of you, try keeping a neutral spine all the way up your body, including your neck.

 

When I slow the video down, it still looks like you are kind of straightening your legs and then pulling the weight with your back (at least for a couple of reps), whereas you need to be actually using your legs and your hamstrings to pull you back to the starting position. Your form isn't terrible, but if you're still getting that back pain then some changes do need to be made.

 

Hope that all helps!

I'll try that on my next workout :)) Thanks again Scott

Hi Scott, I figured that I should ask this question here so that you know my previous deadlift form.

I just do the Legs A for the first time and when I do the stiff leg deadlift, my back feels bad - especially when I put the weight down and stand up, it feels like it will collapse or something :)) I feel like I have to squeeze my abs to keep my back normal. I have kept a neutral spine but my back still feel bad.

Any advice on this? Thanks =))
