Thank you for not spending 5 minutes just talking and for getting right into the instruction. There’s too many videos like this when looking for proper deadlift instruction. Straight to the point and easy to understand, no technical terms that don’t help. Thank you!
Omg this was soooooo useful. My lower back was hurting me when I tried but it’s because I wasn’t letting my hip fall back to take the weight and the bar was too forward...and my head was up lol. Gosh thankyou
I’ve always wondered why I had such bad lower back pain doing this. I didn’t know Something as simple as lifting the neck looking up was causing it. Thank you!
Personally, The neck detail was KEY to me! This video has single-handedly turned Deadlift from being my least favourite workout to one of the most satisfying ones. Thank you!
Thank you for showing the correct way to do this! I was doing it all wrong and after watching this I did it your way, the correct way & now my back doesn't hurt. Thanks again!
Thank you. I have been doing this for years and never knew about my head and facing down. Just been told tonight I'm doing it wrong. 7 years of doing it wrong. So thanks for this video
I’m happy I was actually doing it right I was confused because some guys keep looking at me then whispering to each other so I was like 😅🙁”im probably doing it wrong
I haven't done a RDL for years since I had a trainer at the gym because I was scared of doing it wrong and hurting my back, thanks for this really easy video to make sure I do it right by myself
Same here, got to this video because my back was hurting more than it felt like it should, I am for sure making both mistakes presented here. That's why I love videos of Common mistakes and what NOT to do rather than HOW to do it
Thank you for the vid! Went to the gym last night and my folks were tryna teach me this but I just could not understand how to preform it. Hopefully this’ll help me the next time I take a hand at RDLs again!!
Oh so that’s why I’m experiencing this terrible lower back pain. I didn’t know that by looking up while deadlifting can contribute to lower back pain. I felt that I don’t also have the proper form doing it. This is very helpful
THANK YOU! I just started working out with weights and I had to do this workout last night. I felt like my back was too arched and this is why! Thanks again!
This definitely was helpful. I started doing rdls today and after one set I pulled my hamstrings a bit that it ached when I went in for the 2nd set. So I had to stop that workout now that I know this I can definitely apply it to my workout correctly.
Omg for months I’ve been doing it wrong & now that im looking back maybe that’s why I got stared at a lot. Haha well im embarrassed 😞 but thank you for this
Cool. I’ve seen so many people doing it wrong. Badly wrong. Sometimes I want to tell them about it, but people can be very sensitive about being corrected.
Why do people feel they have to perform the concentric so fast. You’re not doing a kettlebell swing. Slow and smooth maintains that good mind muscle connection.
Hi Coach, thanks for posting. I have 3 questions: 1- do you recommend letting the plates briefly touch the floor on the "down" position, or leave an inch or two, then come back up? 2- your model was barefoot for the video, do you recommend that? 3- lastly, if I squat and do the stiff legged deadlift, do I still need the regular deadlift or even the leg curl? thanks coach.
all of the super heavy lifters mention that you should look ahead in a deadlift. it makes you stronger as is activates more of your back and keeps your shoulders better locked back.
Good points, but you did not address the shoulder position. Her shoulders should be in the 'back & down' position. Or maybe they are (and I can't see it, lol).
I am currently trying RDLs ..but I cannot feel the pressure in my hamstring..but my lowerback hurts a lot..I will keep my neck down and try it tomorrow..thanks for the great tip
I appreciate that you keep the videos short (i.e. get to the point). Thank you! Also, thank you for the clear instruction, too. I've had discomfort in the lower back/upper glute so sometimes moves like this are uncomfortable/painful. I figured I had to be doing something wrong. I don't have a barbell so I do use dumbbells. Would DBs be different than barbell or would the form be the same?
Recently I haven’t been bending my knees slightly but just hinging back and lowering the bar as far down as I can. I felt my hamstrings but not my glutes much
To be clear once you get into soft knees position, do you keep the this angle all the way down? If you do the bar will theoretically move away from the body. In the video the demonstrator appears to hinge further at the knees to keep the bar close. Are we supposed to force the bar towards shins? Thank you for this concise instruction.
Alright! So that's what RDL stands for. Great video, Coach PJ. Is there a certain distance between legs/feet? Like shoulder wide / or wider? Thank you!
Thanks for your comment! As a general rule I start with the feet hip width apart, but this can change depending on the specific goal. For instance, I use a narrow stance for my hockey athletes to hit different parts of the hamstring muscles in specific ways, to correct imbalances that come from so many hours of skating. But generally speaking for most people, hip width is a good starting point
Quick ques I’m y lower back was slightly sore the day after RDLs but not painful just sore is this normal ? It was my first day using weight & trying out this exercise
Omg her Form was actually better before minus yhr locked knees lol 😂 she bends her knees in the last one as she goes down which defeats the purpose of doing an RDL. If you feel your back too much it most likely a combination of too much weight/going too low. Most people don’t have the flexibility to do an RDl to the floor so your knees either bend more as you go down (which will reduce tension in the hamstrings) or your back breaks(this is when you start to feel it in your back) you should Stop right before you start to feel it in your back then go back up. Over time you will be able to go lower
I don't know why this exercise is so hard for me i can't do it right
You’re doing fine. The culture of TH-cam is to keep you engaged by constantly trying to correct you.
Omg no seriously I feel the same it looks simple but actually quite hard I have to keep looking in the mirror
@@matrepharaoh826010000000% this.

@Issac Bentlee creepy af dude.
def you took words out of my mouth
He talks for half the video...
@@coryaw95 Can't be this stupid, right? He's obviously getting right into it and talking how to do it.
@@coryaw95 yeah but it’s not nonsense unless you can’t understand what he’s saying
Omg this was soooooo useful. My lower back was hurting me when I tried but it’s because I wasn’t letting my hip fall back to take the weight and the bar was too forward...and my head was up lol. Gosh thankyou
So happy that you found this helpful!
Same girl lol my lower back still hurts lol and I was looking up cuz I was feeling myself looking in the mirror lol
Same here. I always wondered why I find them painful though not difficult
Thank you for this reminder about keeping the bar close and not hyper extending. My lower back was crying!
I’ve always wondered why I had such bad lower back pain doing this. I didn’t know Something as simple as lifting the neck looking up was causing it. Thank you!
I'm happy that this helped you!
Same here, it's such a simple detail but when I train now my lower back pain is gone, amazing.
wow, not a second wasted. thank you so much for all these videos
Thank you for your kind words and support!
Personally, The neck detail was KEY to me! This video has single-handedly turned Deadlift from being my least favourite workout to one of the most satisfying ones. Thank you!
This is the BEST explanation of the RDL I have ever seen. Thank You.
Crazy to see Paul Ryan doing TH-cam videos now
hey you win
Lol he does look like a non weasel version of him.
I want to comment something but I'm speechless...
😂😂😂
So when you come back up you need to pop back up???? I though you came back up slowly
Excellent teaching! I agree 100%... and I'm still training correctly for all these decades! No ego lifting for this cat!
Thank you! I knew something was wrong when i was feeling it in my lower back instead of my glutes and hamstrings
Thank you for showing the correct way to do this! I was doing it all wrong and after watching this I did it your way, the correct way & now my back doesn't hurt. Thanks again!
Thank you. I have been doing this for years and never knew about my head and facing down. Just been told tonight I'm doing it wrong. 7 years of doing it wrong. So thanks for this video

I’ve spent hours trying to get this right and no matter what I do I only feel it in my hamstrings. Never in my bum
Unfortunately I found this video too late, well when I'm recovered will be doing this!
I'm a personal trainer and I love watching all these videos, thanks for sharing!
pls teach me
Erin Levine plzz tel ma how to get biggger hips and thay...which one exercise
How was starting for you? Planning to become a personal trainer after Nursing School! :)
5 years later you're still saving lumbar spines (incl. mine) with that "don't lift your chin" piece of information. 💡💡💡 Thank you so much Coach!

This was super helpful. The day after my first time trying rdl my lower back and hamstrings were agony. I was going to my toes. Lesson learnt; Thanks!
I used some of the cues you mentioned in the video and I definitely felt a difference. Thank you so much for the great tips!!
This guy is super good at what he does! Good at the explanation and clear
NO WONDER MY HAMSTRINGS ARE HURTING 4 days later!!!😩 thank you so much for teaching me the proper form
Thank you. No wonder I felt most of it in my back.
Thanks. No hyper-extending of my spine. 👏👏
Oh so that’s why I’m experiencing this terrible lower back pain. I didn’t know that by looking up while deadlifting can contribute to lower back pain. I felt that I don’t also have the proper form doing it. This is very helpful
Oh man mama is glad I found your channel!! Ty!!!
I needed this my back was killing mee every time I did this🥲✨
Thanks a lot man I started having really bad back pain after RDL’s I should probably decrease my weight for now and focus on my form.
Excellent instructive video on how to properly perform the RDL. Thanks Coach PJ !
I keep forgetting to soften my knees…whenever my family see me I hear “Soft knees.” Best reminder
Highly useful video that will prevent injuries.
Just discovered your videos. They are absolutely awesome man
loving these videos man

Wow - when you know better- you do better!!
all of the super heavy lifters mention that you should look ahead in a deadlift. it makes you stronger as is activates more of your back and keeps your shoulders better locked back.
It doesn’t have to be ahead like at the mirror making eye contact but it should be at the base of the mirror
DANG. Paul Ryan said "All the way down!" 🖐
really true! really it would look easy but hard to initiate perfectly. good job katrina!
I have been doing wrong all my life 🤦🏽♀️
Good points, but you did not address the shoulder position. Her shoulders should be in the 'back & down' position. Or maybe they are (and I can't see it, lol).
I smashed the subscribe button! You deserve more subscribers!
Thank you so much for your support!
I still can’t do them. Never feel the pain in my glutes. I wonder what I’m doing wrong
Same I'm having the same issue back is really after 6 reps with no weight on the bar
This exercise targets mainly the hamstrings and not the glutes as far as I am aware.
The tension in the air, why do I feel it?
Great video! Even my coaches couldn't explain it like this!
Thank! Really having a hard time figuring out this RDL, now its a lot clearer 👍
I am currently trying RDLs ..but I cannot feel the pressure in my hamstring..but my lowerback hurts a lot..I will keep my neck down and try it tomorrow..thanks for the great tip
Oh, thank you so much 😍
Excellent. I'll incorporate the corrections into my lift. Thanks.

This is a great video with authentic information! Thank you very much!
I'm glad you liked it and I appreciate the support and kind words!
Thanks. This vid just saved my back.
thank you so much, now i know why my back hurts
Another factor is tight hamstrings will limit your range of motion... that means easing into it gradually... it's not a slam dunk exercise!
Recently I haven’t been bending my knees slightly but just hinging back and lowering the bar as far down as I can. I felt my hamstrings but not my glutes much
Well its a hamstring exercise so i thinks thats okay
Ooooh that’s why my back is hurting 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
Why is Paul Ryan teaching Romanian deadlifts?
3:10 correct form
I hate it when you see trainers on TH-cam and the butt goes all the way back without hip hinging good video doing it correctly
Very helpful I have been doing it wrong this whole time but thank you for this video!!
This must be why I have pain in the lower back 😱
Great explanation and also getting right to it. Thank you.
Huh…. I did not know about the neck. The mirrors in front of the racks sorta make you look up
Thank you I was messing up form trying to go way past my shins thanks for letting me know it’s okay
Great video thanks for posting

Bendddddd......and snap 🤣
Paul Ryan does weight lifting videos?
What's funny is that you're not too far off. Apparently Paul Ryan taught a P90X class in Washington.
Omg came to the comments to say this
Fuck you beat me to it!
@@reut0094 me too! It's so true though.
Alright! So that's what RDL stands for.
Great video, Coach PJ.

@@vendelaluna510 lol same reason I'm here
Thx Coach.
Okay good this when I was actually doing all right. I enjoy your content, you have a new subscriber.👍
I appreciate your support!
Love all your videos, very helpful
How do you know i'm doing it wrong. Oh, you don't know, i see!
Thank you!
I did every fucking thing already, why do I feel NOTHING in my dam hamstring??
The objective is to maintain a neutral spine... which means maintaining a lordotic Arch In the lumbar spine!
Now I can do it right 👍🏻👍🏻
Omg her Form was actually better before minus yhr locked knees lol 😂 she bends her knees in the last one as she goes down which defeats the purpose of doing an RDL.

So if i want it to be more lower back focused, I should have the bar more in front right? Or just do good mornings?
@Coach PjJ Nestler do we need to squeeze the glute or anything when come up straight? Thanks 😊
That “wrong” looks so right 😭
I’ve been doing this wrong for 4 months LOL thank you 😅
i did this exercise wrong for a few months and my knee got injured as a result
I subscribe your chanel from Iran👍
super helpful I was doing it and was hurting my lower back so much. Thanks for the correction!!
No, I've been doing it right all along. Cheers though.
Thanks so much

Great explanation
