Glute Focus Dumbbell RDL

[@garrettcochran9169]

Everything is a lower back workout if you do it wrong enough

[@Just2Ddude]

I love when its just straight to the point, fast and informative. Ty.

[@maryannedu9666]

your videos are so amazing, accidentally stumbled across from a google search on correct form and you popped up, im so glad i discovered you!! i love the short and sweet videos straight to the point! binge watching your whole channel now 😂

[@obbagss9468]

Short and sweet , perfect! I greatly appreciate this information and it’s simplicity

[@Siberius-]

Makes sense. Puts more of a stretch on the glutes due to the increased hip bend, and also allows for more range of motion with the thrust. Making sure to still keep the stretch on the hamstrings the whole time when bending the knees further than with a usual RDL.

[@ALPHABRAVO487]

very straightforward, THANKS A LOT

[@greatrulo]

Amazing explanation! Will be great for teaching this move to me partner.

[@dungle-mn3sg]

First day impressions:It arrived in a waist high box. kzbin.infoUgkxP26Tir6n60vUkdtn4mbwhRO8cwuJQNy2 Each dumbbell was in its own foam box within the shipping box. Everything was secure and in good shape. No weird smells. The weight changing mechanism is really smooth and straight forward. Changing weight is really fast and easy. Though the handle is plastic, I don't think it will be breaking anytime soon. So far pretty impressed after my first session with them. I was afraid they were going to be too wide at first, but I didn't have any issues with them while doing upright rows.

[@carollynnepost5645]

Perfect form! Far too many people keep knees straight and/or go to the ankle. You have great form and smooth steady movement 👌

[@AGGoldStudios]

I love you thank you

[@shilohthebeagle1430]

I only feel my hamstrings sore but not my glutes after I did these 🤔

[@ariananewson4377]

Maybe knees are bent too much? I had the same issue but when I was conscious about my knees them glutes were on fire!

[@shilohthebeagle1430]

@@ariananewson4377 so bending too much will cause the hamstrings to work more? Hmm, thanks 😊 I will try it again and see

[@jadiragomez1866]

Maybe try a Bulgarian split squat for glutes?

[@cokedupcat]

Bend knees as little as possible. Keep playing around with your form until you perfect back comfort and glute activation. Mine were definitely given a good workout. Here's my method for finding the right position; go all the way down, straighten your knees, straighten your back afterwards, then lean either forward or backward with your ankles to change the direction of the force put upon your back, when you find the right spot then go back up. Keep doing that until find your glutes hurting. Ngl sumo squats feel really good right after.

[@muhammadyuswarachmadi]

Try Sumo Deadlift.

[@csscott9803]

Thanks for sharing🙏

[@soulflower3825]

Thank you

[@glolikejaaay]

I only feel it on my left hamstring 😂😂 am i doin it wrong??

[@user-tv1jz2qx6x]

Is this exercise safe for me if I have diastasis recti?

[@mrskhan597]

Coyld someone please tell how many reps and sets one should do with this? Thank you!

[@ashleyrodriguez7430]

So how do i know if I can feel it in my glutes cause so far I feel it in my hamstring

[@Siberius-]

It's primarily a hamstring exercise. It puts a stretch on the hamstrings, which is what you want, and then you do the concentric part of the movement (standing up) out from that stretched hamstring position. Muscles respond best when in the stretched/lengthened position. For the glutes, you won't really feel as much of a stretch there, but being extra bent at the hips will mean that the glutes are in a more lengthened position and this variation of the RDL gives more range of motion for the hips to thrust forward, which is what the glutes are responsible for. It's a great glute exercise. Just gotta remember that the knees are more bent than usual, but still keep that stretch on the hamstrings the whole way down.

التمرين صعب علي وظهري يألمني لما اسويه

[@alyssaa6309]

I just cannot do it, I’ve had trainers try and correct my form, I’ve practiced in the mirror, rdls are impossible for me 😭

[@vt64]

What’s a good weight to start off with?

[@brianajeram5239]

Not a professional trainer, maybe start off with weights that you'll be able to carry

[@boblangford5514]

My trainer told me to "make light weights feel heavy." Meaning, go slow and focus on form. Probably start with 10 pounds in each hand. Do 5 reps for each set, then the next day you do deadlifts, do 6 reps with the same weight, then 7, then 8, then go back down to 5 reps again and increase the weight in each hand, rinse, wash, repeat. Yes, this takes a long time, but you get progressive overload without risk of injury. This is what I had to do when I was getting back into weightlifting after a back injury. If you are young (less than 30 years old), you can go a little faster. Once your form feels comfortable after a few weeks, you can experiment with heavier weights and lift heavy enough to "reach failure" between 5-8 reps for each set.

[@vt64]

@@boblangford5514 thank you! That’s great advice, I think I’ve been going too heavy in the beginning

[@boblangford5514]

@@vt64 You’re welcome. I went too heavy when I started on my deadlifts and squats. I had pain in my low back and inner thighs. My inability to control the weight compromised my form. So start off light, master the form, and gradually add weight. If the weight is too heavy to where you forget about proper form, it’s too much. Increase reps slowly, and when the reps get too high (can easily do 12 reps), increase the weight a little (no more than 5 pounds), and drop the reps back down to about 6-8. Help your mind have patience with your body. Think in the moment. My problem was adding weight too quickly because I was trying to reach a goal by an arbitrary deadline. That’s nonsense. Instead of focusing on long term goals, focus on the short term. Live in the moment. All you need for progress is one more rep than last time.

[@ashleyoliva6971]

What if my traps are sore after this workout? What am I doing wrong?

[@InvisibleHotdog]

Nothing, DLs are a full body movement and your traps aren't as strong as your glutes

[@iamtwigz4441]

Tuck your chin down

[@seraaaperaaa7050]

Followed this and woke up this morning with extreme back pain. Do not recommend and I don’t think it was explained well

[@SalsaCaballero]

You should like 10 feet ahead of you, not straight down. Also, you push your hips back like someone was buckling you from the waist. Last, you really don't have to go down that much. There's much better tutorials out there. Don''t give up.

[@leenatherese781]

the v4k1ng things was, why you dont just focused more on lower body exercises, they are more important for girls
