what people Regard as RDL its not really a muscle Group but an abbreviated name for Romanian deadlift. Also a deadlift and a Romanian deadlift differs slightly from one another.
RDL focuses on one bend (hips) with soft knees, while deadlift has two bends (hips & knees). The bending machanics of the two exercises causes them to recruit different pressure points on the posterion chain.
