The Romanian Deadlift (RDL) is a great option for training glutes and hamstrings.
While it is normally done with a barbell or dumbbells, I like using a trap bar since it allows me to keep my shoulders and spine in a comfortable neutral position. This will also be an effective choice for people who have some serious chest tissue or mobility limitations in their shoulders.
Here are some technical considerations to help you perform it:
✅ Hinge at the hips and stay within your active range of motion.
✅ When you can’t flex at the hip, pinch your butt in and think about pressing through the floor.
✅ Keep the abs braced, stabilize upper body and maintain a neutral spine.
❌ Avoid looking up and extending the neck.
❌ Don’t let the spine flex or extend.
❌ Don’t finish the movement with the lower back.
Give a try and let me know if you have any questions.

This is a variation that will leave your shoulders litty 🔥
Benefits:
✅ Works the medial delts in their fully shortened position.
✅ Works with the lower traps rather than the upper traps.
✅ Allows for full scapular mobility.
✅ Improves shoulder health.
Technical considerations:
▪️Pull your shoulders blades back into a neutral position.
▪️Raise your arms out in a “Y” shape.
▪️Bring your shoulder blades down as your arms get near the top range.
▪️Don’t expect to lift crazy heavy loads with this one.
If you are struggling to fire up your delts, try this.

It can be hard to workout with less equipment.
It can be hard to get motivated at home.
It can be hard to not get distracted with other things while working out.
It can be hard to know what to do.
It can be hard to feel like you’re getting in a good workout.
Don’t worry though, you’re not alone.
Want my advice?
Be stronger than your excuses. Take action now. If you want it bad enough, no excuse is good enough. Invest in your body now, you’ll be glad later.

Are you using TEMPO to maximize your home training results?
The biggest limiting factor for most people training at home is a lack of resistance to progress on. You need to find ways to increase the challenge and create tension. Using tempo can be a great tool to make the exercises harder in order to achieve the proper stimulus.
Tempo is a very important variable for training and in my opinion, very undervalued. Tempo determines how long you spend in each portion of the range of motion. Utilizing tempo can have several benefits:
✅ Forcing controlled quality reps.
✅ Getting the correct stimulus out of the exercise.
✅ Altering what is recruited and where it is recruited.
✅ Overcoming weak points by spending more time in specific positions.
✅ Changing the resistance profile of the exercise.
For this DB RDL I used a “3-2-1-0” tempo.🔥
The “3” calls for a 3-second eccentric.
The “2” calls for a 2-second pause at the bottom.
The “1” calls for a 1-second concentric.
The last “0” calls for no time spent at the top.
⚠️ Tempo numbers are always written in the same order of (Eccentric, Pause, Concentric, Pause), however not every exercise starts with an eccentric movement. Deadlift, pull-ups, rows and other similar movements start concentrically, so when reading the tempo for these movements make sure you understand what position the movement starts in order to complete the exercise with the correct tempo.
