Romanian Deadlift vs. Conventional Deadlift: What's the difference?

Both exercises involve a hip hinge, the difference is how much you bend your knees throughout the movement.

In a Romanian Deadlift (RDL), you maintain a slight bend in your knees as you drive your hips back, keeping your shins relatively vertical.

In a Conventional Deadlift, you bend your knees more to reach the bar from the floor, allowing for a lower starting position.

Intentional Training. Individualized Attention.

We intentionally keep our group training sizes small to ensure every athlete receives the highest quality coaching possible.

Smaller groups allow our coaches to give each athlete the attention they need throughout the entire session. From monitoring technique and providing feedback to adjusting exercises, loads, and intensity based on individual abilities, every athlete receives coaching specific to their development.

Each session is structured to keep athletes moving, engaged, and training with purpose. There's clear direction, minimal downtime, and focused attention throughout the hour.

This is what individualized coaching looks like in a group setting. For one member, Husan encourages them to squat lower. For another, he recommends reducing the weight. And for someone else, he encourages them to increase their speed.

It's also a great example of how people of all skill levels can train together in the same class, following the same programming, while using different exercise variations, weights, and intensities appropriate for their individual abilities.

The goal isn't for everyone to perform every exercise in exactly the same way. It's to help each individual progress through intentional, appropriately prescribed training.

Our Adult Performance programming is designed to increase muscle mass, improve body composition, develop cardiovascular fitness, and improve movement quality.

Today's session put a strong emphasis on conditioning, with intervals across the rower, AirBike, and SkiErg. The class finished with barbell upright rows, dumbbell bicep curls, and banded tricep pushdowns.

What can you expect from Adult Performance?

You can expect to spend most of the hour moving, with a combination of cardiovascular conditioning and strength training.

One of the things that makes this class suitable for all fitness levels is how our coaches adapt the training to each individual.

That means someone with years of training experience can work alongside someone stepping into a gym for the very first time.

Everyone follows the same structured programming, but exercises, loads, and intensity are adjusted based on individual abilities.

For someone more experienced, that might mean increasing the weight, adding reps, or pushing the intensity higher.

For someone just starting out, it might mean modifying an exercise, reducing the weight, or lowering the intensity while they develop strength and movement quality.

A behind-the-scenes look at one of Coach Marc’s small group training sessions.

In this session, Coach Marc works with two female basketball athletes on box jumps and deadlifts, building toward a heavy set of five.

Throughout the session, Coach Marc monitors technique, adjusts loads, provides corrections, and assesses how each athlete is moving.

Every athlete progresses at their own pace, with coaching that reflects their individual abilities.

When we think of a high performer at VO2 Max, Cody is someone who comes to mind.

Cody is a businessman, a husband, and a father of two. He works long hours, has responsibilities outside the gym, and still makes his training a priority.

Most mornings, you'll find him walking through our doors at 5 a.m. Sometimes 5:10 or 5:15, but he consistently shows up and puts in the work.

He trains with intention, tracks his workouts, and continues to progress week after week. His effort doesn't go unnoticed.

In fact, many of our Functional Performance members look at Cody's scores and times as benchmarks to work toward. He sets a standard that pushes the people around him.

Being a high performer isn't just about having the fastest time or lifting the most weight. It's about consistency, effort, and the standard you hold yourself to, even when life gets busy.

Cody is a great example of what that looks like.

Not every athlete who wants to train with Coach Husan will automatically be accepted into his small group sessions.

Husan takes a selective approach to who he coaches, which is why he conducts trial sessions with prospective athletes before deciding whether they're a good fit.

It's not just about athletic ability. He's looking at how athletes respond to instruction, their willingness to learn, their ability to stay focused, and the effort they bring to the session.

The environment he's created is intentional. Athletes are expected to listen, stay engaged, and approach their training with maturity.

That doesn't mean they need to be the strongest, fastest, or most experienced athletes in the room. But they do need to be willing to learn, accept feedback, and put in the work.

By being selective about who joins his groups, Husan is able to maintain a training environment where athletes are focused, coaching is effective, and everyone is there to improve.

It's not about finding the best athletes. It's about working with athletes who are willing to be coached.

Same exercise. Different coaching.

Here's a behind-the-scenes look at our 16-Week Program, where Janine is working with members on their rear foot elevated split squats.

While everyone is performing the same exercise, the coaching looks different for each individual.

For one member, Janine encourages them to increase their weight. For another, she recommends removing their shoe to improve stability. And for someone still developing their stability and technique, she modifies the exercise to provide additional support.

This is what individualized coaching looks like in a group setting.

Our coaches are actively watching movement quality, making adjustments, and ensuring each person is training at a level appropriate for their current abilities.

The goal isn't for everyone to do the exact same thing. It's to help everyone progress through intentional, appropriate training.

Our next 16-Week Transformation Program begins in January! Comment "JANUARY" for more information.
