I'm a PT and the way you verbalise the cues is super clear and easy to understand. I'm going to start using these exact cue demonstrations with my clients. Thanks Eugene!

[@coacheugeneteo]

Glad it was helpful!

[@carastone3473]

First tell them to NOT look out in front of their body as they hinge forward, but rather tilt the chin down to keep the head inline with the spine. If the chest is facing the floor, your face should be also. You want a straight line from the top of your head to your tailbone. Blows my mind how many professionals get this move right from the waist down, but wrong above the shoulders.

[@NotesNNotes]

as a PT patient who does RDL's often during therapy, I agree - this is helping me understand so much

[@EBiz-tv9jq]

I'm also a PT and wanted to say, that obtaining a PT status was as simple as writing somewhere that I am a PT. I can say taht the video is absolutely unclear and hard to understand. I am going to recommend my clients to block this channel ASAP! :D Eugene, stop using fake accounts for self-recommendations, ok

[@michaellika6567]

@@carastone3473actually there’s no reason to keep the head looking down and the cervical spine aligned with the thoracic spine. as long the cervical spine not in a forced extension you can look forward if the helps you cue the lumbar spine to stay extended. People tend to demonize extended neck while deadlifting while as long as there’s no over pressure on the backside of the spine (facet joints) and there no compression forces on it either, that’s pretty much safe.

[@JJI18D]

Driving hips back AND “up” is the exact cue I needed. I’ve struggled with RDLs and flexion of the lower back but now I’ve noticed a big improvement after one session and feel much less in the lower back by maybe 80%.

[@tonymadigan3972]

So cool to see such a genuine person who knows what they’re talking about

[@87togabito]

The butt to top of the room was the key that immediately made so many things click in my head. Thank you for that mental cue.

[@GabrielGuzman]

Thank you so much Eugene! The “closing the door using your hips” tip worked instantly. I can feel my glutes and hamstrings so much better now!

[@johanwilson2967]

The butt back and up was the cue i was missing in my life. Thanks for that

[@KellySpeaksTruthKellySpeak-h9x]

This video really breaks down the Romanian deadlift step by step, which is super helpful for beginners. I've been looking to improve my form for a while.

[@razvan7355]

As a romanian I can confirm we do deadlift the romanian way and this video is very good.

[@Getwelllivehealthy]

I always love how you explain things plain and simple so the folks with no experience can get it. 💪🏻 thanks for always creating amazing context

[@coacheugeneteo]

I appreciate that!

[@lovebot69]

Going from barbell romanian deadlift to dumbells made the world of a difference for me. Something people should think about.

[@jaidevphadke9293]

How come it helped? What did it help with? Curious

[@lovebot69]

@@jaidevphadke9293 Simply the mind muscle connections was stronger for me on the dumbells. Also my lower back was much less sore afterwards. Thats just me though.

[@ontothenextpaige]

Ok you have NO idea how many videos I’ve watched trying to understand how to do this move properly!! Thank you so so much for such a detailed and perfectly clear explanation!!

[@coacheugeneteo]

Glad it helped!

[@bambostarla6259]

These are very very good tips. I was really struggling with doing RDLs with any significant weight because of the two limiting factors. I struggle with conventional deadlifting due to posture problems so lifting the weight from a rack helps a lot. And with straps it really helps you lock in without slipping with your fingers! My Rdl went from 60kg to 95 with good teknique in just 3 months

[@gloriinher40s]

NICELY DONE!

[@craigyboy4770]

Op goes to low. Best way is to keep legs straight as you can, without your back bending. Do not need to touch floor with the weight, certainly do not need deficit.

[@curtybaby]

felt like you were speaking directly to me when you described feeling a nervy-stretchy sensation. great breakdown.

[@user-ys1pu9ep7p]

I love how you emphasize flexibility along with strength. It's so important for overall performance.

[@functionallyfitnesssolutio7012]

The push the butt back and up cue was the game changer for my RDLs! Until I was given this cue by madi and sharelle I was completely missing out on the full potential of the movement 🎉

[@JucesaMota]

Trully one of the greatest channels that I've encountered in KZbin, great teaching and straight foward. Good job!

[@lucasvarley9764]

Great video! I'm going to have to try this out. One of the biggest things that has helped me build muscle has been a custom meal plan from Next Level Diet. I use it every week and I love it!

[@ibleebinU]

Eugene is unique in how he explains things on a level few others can. Truly a master of his art.

[@carwashgirl3541]

Thank you so much, I love your analogy because I have been going crazy. I'm currently in the gym and have had a pretty rough day and I was aboutin tears trying to figure out why I can't seem to activate my core correctly. Seriously.. 😭 I almost lost it at the gym. Imagine that! Im so glad I found you! 💘 I'll be subscribing and watching.much more videos i hope!!! Godspeed!!

[@laikgreen1513]

This guy is the best . What a tank and so understandable and informative.

[@elcajon]

Amazing... My coach told me to follow you a year ago on Instagram. For some reason I've never seen your KZbin channel. You got a new follower

[@coacheugeneteo]

Thank you! 🙏

[@mountandew42]

Shut the door was a vocal que my coach in high-school used, it's super useful to keep these in mind thank you for the advice

[@S_wali]

I've just started training legs properly and figuring out the rdl is one of my goals. I was using Jeff nippards video but this video was also very helpful

[@INKOSK4114]

Love his form! The back was straight during his lifts! Kudos!

[@stevecarp1904]

Another informative and helpful video - thank you, Eugene. And I love the RDL!

Thank you! 🙏

Super clear and easy to follow and your hair is majestic

That butt up to the opposite corner of the room advice was pure gold. Thanks man!

[@coacheugeneteo]

Yes!

[@jaidevphadke9293]

Thank you. Would be helpful if you summarized the five tips at the end of the video, or included time stamps to guide viewers. Really appreciate this content

[@TheSerkMan]

I just wanted to try this exercise for the first time today! Perfect timing

[@stefanstefan23]

Great content as usual. The lifetime membership of Ganbaru is one of the best investments I ever made fitness-wise. Also, great thumbnail choice :D

[@coacheugeneteo]

Thank you! 🙏

[@j.b.8546]

I love doing these with dumbbells

[@serjherman]

Eugene's new haircut trips me out. I thought it was LeanBeefPatty on the thumbnail. I was like, "Daaaamn, that girl gained some muscle for real!" xD

[@JohnB-ws4ge]

I wanted to thank you. I used your tips here and damn, I woke up so sore today. Small adjustments overall, but made a big difference.

[@belindapanton719]

This video is amazing! Pushing for 85kg PB this year on my Romanians and you make me want to go for the 90kgs 😈

omfg thank u for this video!!! i’m short 4’6” and i feel rdl’s in my back but this video has helped me a lot!

[@KrunoslavSaho]

When I heard your voice I immediately picked up that your were an Aussie, and then I looked at your About page and yes, I was correct. Thanks for the deadlift info.

[@maxim30]

Very good for helping to focus on the hamstrings while using this exercise.

[@fabchi4597]

The best guy on the Web for fitness. Loved the feet tip

[@kwerner]

Just found your channel and I have to tell you how impressed I am. You really explain all the fine details of the technique in a way that's easy to understand. Thank you, looking forward to more of your videos. Subscribed. 👍

[@rayna.v]

Thanks for this - a lot of great cues that really make a difference! What about gaze/head placement. I’ve always been taught that you do not want to keep your gaze up and that you should end up looking at the floor to avoid injury. I noticed you seemed to do both in your demonstrations.

[@mrsceltics]

Thank you so much, this was very helpful as I am progressively overloading! Love the tshirt too.

[@coacheugeneteo]

Thank you! 🙏 glad to hear it

[@laurazavala3182]

OMG FINALLY !!! Thank you!!! The sole made ALL the difference!!

[@kiaraclarke29]

So helpful! I'm new to the gym and this was rhe exact vid I needed

[@MarieGecko]

Thanks coach! 👏 I am following these tips, am pretty strong, don't have any issues with my back when doing them, but I still feel RDLs so much more in my hamstrings than glutes 😏

[@ManlioPerez_]

RDL is a hamstring exercise. And you’ll feel it in the hams. It does work glutes. But main target is hamstrings. 💪🏾😊

[@0379915]

Great video! (Love the thumbnail text) idk if others feel the same, but a summary graphic at the end would be helpful. ✌️

[@tylerclark3686]

Eugene you are so remarkably insightful in how you communicate these concepts that are usually intimidating for beginners such as myself. You made me realize how I need to improve my attention span because of how well the information was presented that I watched and rewatched at least seven times to grasp another twenty seconds very incrementally. I hope I'm understanding you right - I should not be stretching my hamstrings and glutes, I should be redistributing my weight using my feet?

[@nanaisloved2736]

I am really struggling with tightness in my hamstrings after RDLs recently after including bands, don't know if I'm doing something wrong because usually I'm very flexible. I'll incorporate these keys and see if it's getting better! Thank you Eugene 💯

[@davidotro5177]

Great tips! minor changes, big rewards. Thank you, Eugene!

[@TehRealChruZ]

Nice! The only thing that I would change is not going from the rack, but just from the floor. I find that lifting the bar from the rack and having to step back with it in my hands is more fatiguing than just deadlifting it from the floor/starting the RDL from the floor. But that's probably just personal preference!

[@sianhowells]

Great detailed explanation..the best I have seen

[@vamsimadassa1136]

Awesome Coach 🔥 Definitely going to give it a try today 😃

[@luckyytf]

Detailed gym walkthrough please. I wanna learn everything behind the equipment you've handpicked for your gym

[@coacheugeneteo]

Sure

[@fusspot57]

I would really like this too. I would be like a kid in sweetshop!

[@david_thomas]

I'm planning to add these and or good mornings into my plan starting next block in order to replace deadlifts completely. I find deadlifts tax me so much that I can't effectively train squats as much as I want so really helpful video (and great thumbnail too 😂)

[@coacheugeneteo]

Yes!! Thank you! Love good mornings too

[@roland6474]

Good vibe from this guy

[@colinvanmaasdam9739]

Nice one again Eugene! Quick question: What do you think about using the lats to keep the bar close and to improve core stability as well? I find this very usefull myself. Is this something you didn’t tell on purpose or just something that can be detailed only when needed, depending on the individual and situation?

[@JK2Kans]

Tried some RDL with dumbells with my feet on yoga blocks as I workout at home, don't have a barebell. Worked really well, got more depth on then I usually would. Will keep them in for the next while like that and try them again off the floor without the blocks see has it improved for me.

[@coacheugeneteo]

Good stuff!

[@seattlejelleff1527]

Oh my God this thumbnail is so good, made me click on the video instantly!!

Hi Eugene! I would like to have you as my instructor but I'm in Spain and I only exercise at home. I cannot see myself in a gym I wouldn't know where to start 😅. ❤❤

[@oldsingingstudentdougbillf1665]

For range of motive instead of using plates to stand on I use smaller plates on the bar…more of them if necessary. Instead of 45’s I use 2x25 and so on.

[@umaxfitness]

Going below floor level is a dream for me 😂. Would you say that is almost a stiff legs? Great content men, loved that

[@sidhielannithil7159]

This is wonderful 🙌👍 Thank you Eugene

[@vorsillionx]

Excellent analogies Such a video for chest would be excellent

[@tristanmeadows]

I can deadlift 200kgs conventional raw, and i do sets of 10-12 with 110kg Romanian with no wraps lol. They have been a key exercise in getting my deadlift and squat numbers higher as well!

[@T_RyanRain]

The cue with the ass to the top corner of the room is great! I always had problems with controlling my pelvis, but with this tipp i feel like having control, thank you!

[@jennings8374]

Excellent cues! Thank you for the permission to use lifting straps 😅

[@jochui4713]

Eugene thank you for all the great content, do the cues (pronation etc) apply for single leg rdl as well?

[@gavsterdb]

This was super helpful, I followed your guide and two days later my hams are creaking!

[@NorThenX047]

I can't be the only one that wants to see eugene close his car door like that while carrying groceries hahaha

[@andrewl.4277]

Thanks for the video. I was wondering if neck position had any effect on the lift. Looking down or looking straight (at a mirror possibly) or looking to the side (at a side mirror possibly)

[@gymcandy156]

Going to try that cue of pushing out and up!
