Raise your hand if you are just now finding out that you can more accurately target your hamstrings OR glutes with a slight knee bend in an RDL? 🙋‍♂️🤯 Same, same. Here’s how: To work your HAMSTRINGS focus on hinging as far back as possible but keep your knee bend to a minimum. Your hamstring will feel very long, indicating that the movement is OVER. From this position, your hamstring can contract and hinge your body back up because it’s in the ideal form to do so. 🔥 To work your GLUTES, focus on hip hinging as far back as possible and adding a slight knee bend near the end of your hip hinge. This motion will minimize the hamstring lengthening and maximize glute lengthening. 🤯 From this lengthened glute position, you are now ready to hinge your body back up with a strong glute contraction. #dumptruck 🍑😌 Whatever you choose, it’s important to note that the RDL is an extremely functional exercise that will help to train your glutes/hips or hamstrings, as well as minimize any unnecessary strain on your low back. Therefore, whatever version you choose, you need to lead how to do so correctly and in proper alignment. 👏 Our dude, @jpgcoaching knows what’s up (as he demonstrates in this vid)!
