RDL......You're Doing It WRONG

[@MissChanelli]

Omg this was soooooo useful. My lower back was hurting me when I tried but it’s because I wasn’t letting my hip fall back to take the weight and the bar was too forward...and my head was up lol. Gosh thankyou

[@CoachPJNestler]

So happy that you found this helpful!

[@krunktina69]

Same girl lol my lower back still hurts lol and I was looking up cuz I was feeling myself looking in the mirror lol

[@shivanihandoo905]

Same here. I always wondered why I find them painful though not difficult

[@potato-whiz]

Thank you for not spending 5 minutes just talking and for getting right into the instruction. There’s too many videos like this when looking for proper deadlift instruction. Straight to the point and easy to understand, no technical terms that don’t help. Thank you!

You’re doing fine. The culture of KZbin is to keep you engaged by constantly trying to correct you.

Personally, The neck detail was KEY to me! This video has single-handedly turned Deadlift from being my least favourite workout to one of the most satisfying ones. Thank you!

[@a.jlondon9947]

This is the BEST explanation of the RDL I have ever seen. Thank You.

[@lolacullen121212]

Thank you! I knew something was wrong when i was feeling it in my lower back instead of my glutes and hamstrings

Thank you for showing the correct way to do this! I was doing it all wrong and after watching this I did it your way, the correct way & now my back doesn't hurt. Thanks again!

[@rheanathan4189]

I haven't done a RDL for years since I had a trainer at the gym because I was scared of doing it wrong and hurting my back, thanks for this really easy video to make sure I do it right by myself

5 years later you're still saving lumbar spines (incl. mine) with that "don't lift your chin" piece of information. 💡💡💡 Thank you so much Coach!

[@NoOne-fe3gc]

Same here, got to this video because my back was hurting more than it felt like it should, I am for sure making both mistakes presented here. That's why I love videos of Common mistakes and what NOT to do rather than HOW to do it

[@jackward9901]

This was super helpful. The day after my first time trying rdl my lower back and hamstrings were agony. I was going to my toes. Lesson learnt; Thanks!

[@steff6682]

I’ve spent hours trying to get this right and no matter what I do I only feel it in my hamstrings. Never in my bum

[@prayerwarrior7778]

Thank you. No wonder I felt most of it in my back.

[@veselinslavkov3478]

This guy is super good at what he does! Good at the explanation and clear

[@chengvizcarra8179]

Oh so that’s why I’m experiencing this terrible lower back pain. I didn’t know that by looking up while deadlifting can contribute to lower back pain. I felt that I don’t also have the proper form doing it. This is very helpful

[@bethanygill9916]

NO WONDER MY HAMSTRINGS ARE HURTING 4 days later!!!😩 thank you so much for teaching me the proper form

[@kha-yucheam1566]

I used some of the cues you mentioned in the video and I definitely felt a difference. Thank you so much for the great tips!!

[@patriciastarchia4712]

[@tabithamichel3305]

THANK YOU! I just started working out with weights and I had to do this workout last night. I felt like my back was too arched and this is why! Thanks again!

[@pettykitsune4219]

Thank you for the vid! Went to the gym last night and my folks were tryna teach me this but I just could not understand how to preform it. Hopefully this’ll help me the next time I take a hand at RDLs again!!

[@MsPurpleGoddess]

I keep forgetting to soften my knees…whenever my family see me I hear “Soft knees.” Best reminder

[@ashleyonix4622]

I still can’t do them. Never feel the pain in my glutes. I wonder what I’m doing wrong

[@Synorix]

Same I'm having the same issue back is really after 6 reps with no weight on the bar

[@21LeonidasZ]

This exercise targets mainly the hamstrings and not the glutes as far as I am aware.

[@lunytune9]

This definitely was helpful. I started doing rdls today and after one set I pulled my hamstrings a bit that it ached when I went in for the 2nd set. So I had to stop that workout now that I know this I can definitely apply it to my workout correctly.

[@coredadventure1]

Oh man mama is glad I found your channel!! Ty!!!

[@dragonesquire]

Excellent instructive video on how to properly perform the RDL. Thanks Coach PJ !

[@abdulkhan511]

Thanks a lot man I started having really bad back pain after RDL’s I should probably decrease my weight for now and focus on my form.

[@vsilva3215]

Cool. I’ve seen so many people doing it wrong. Badly wrong. Sometimes I want to tell them about it, but people can be very sensitive about being corrected.

[@curlpress1182]

really true! really it would look easy but hard to initiate perfectly. good job katrina!

[@deelightfulyoga]

Thanks. No hyper-extending of my spine. 👏👏

[@benmendeja5199]

Thank! Really having a hard time figuring out this RDL, now its a lot clearer 👍

[@TailoredTechnique]

loving these videos man

[@tawilk]

all of the super heavy lifters mention that you should look ahead in a deadlift. it makes you stronger as is activates more of your back and keeps your shoulders better locked back.

[@Hobosdkcheese]

It doesn’t have to be ahead like at the mirror making eye contact but it should be at the base of the mirror

[@GroBom78]

This must be why I have pain in the lower back 😱

[@eturley7533]

Great video! Even my coaches couldn't explain it like this!

[@josephprivate1802]

I hate it when you see trainers on KZbin and the butt goes all the way back without hip hinging good video doing it correctly

[@breakarm8782]

Excellent. I'll incorporate the corrections into my lift. Thanks.

[@fundifferent1]

[@budekins542]

[@radzmailme]

Thank you so much..My back has been hurting every time I do certain exercises. So these videos have really helped. Could you show a video of an exercise that works on your lower abs and doesn't put pressure on your lower back. 😊

[@endiya.]

I needed this my back was killing mee every time I did this🥲✨

[@ivymarie3643]

Very helpful! 😭 I always struggle with RDLs

[@Woanderer]

The tension in the air, why do I feel it?

[@BeeDingaling]

Just discovered your videos. They are absolutely awesome man

[@chanseymeatball]

Ill have to try this sometime. I skip deadlifts and RDLs because I cannot master the hip hinge. Anytime I asked for advice I get “mind muscle connection” or “just imagine yourself doing it”. I would always put stress on my back because I know I am doing the incorrectly.

[@chlatepdng]

I was told to “close the door with your butt movement”

[@valueplus4814]

That “wrong” looks so right 😭

[@Prokinggg_12]

Omg for months I’ve been doing it wrong & now that im looking back maybe that’s why I got stared at a lot. Haha well im embarrassed 😞 but thank you for this

[@danstafford5977]

Another factor is tight hamstrings will limit your range of motion... that means easing into it gradually... it's not a slam dunk exercise!

[@TimeFlyingBy1884]

If you look closely at the bar 2:38, she has to push it forward a little to avoid hitting her kneecaps. That's a BIG no-no!!

[@Talking2thEEMoon]

So what should she have done?

[@Adrian16Z]

danyelle house it’s not too visible but the reason she has to push the bar forward is because her knees are pushed forward. The path of the bar should be a straight line up and down. That’s why your starting position should not be with a slight bend at the knees like the guy explained. You should start the exercise with everything tight ( no loose knees ) hinging at the hips alone will naturally unlock your knees but won’t push them forward like it’s happening to the girl in this video. That will also put the bar in a straight path.

[@somnath2453]

This is a great video with authentic information! Thank you very much!

[@CoachPJNestler]

[@TheJeaneaux]

Good points, but you did not address the shoulder position. Her shoulders should be in the 'back & down' position. Or maybe they are (and I can't see it, lol).

[@VerryLongName]

Recently I haven’t been bending my knees slightly but just hinging back and lowering the bar as far down as I can. I felt my hamstrings but not my glutes much

[@daheinz27]

Omg her Form was actually better before minus yhr locked knees lol 😂 she bends her knees in the last one as she goes down which defeats the purpose of doing an RDL. If you feel your back too much it most likely a combination of too much weight/going too low. Most people don’t have the flexibility to do an RDl to the floor so your knees either bend more as you go down (which will reduce tension in the hamstrings) or your back breaks(this is when you start to feel it in your back) you should Stop right before you start to feel it in your back then go back up. Over time you will be able to go lower

Hi Coach, thanks for posting. I have 3 questions: 1- do you recommend letting the plates briefly touch the floor on the "down" position, or leave an inch or two, then come back up? 2- your model was barefoot for the video, do you recommend that? 3- lastly, if I squat and do the stiff legged deadlift, do I still need the regular deadlift or even the leg curl? thanks coach.

Technique is wrong. She is forced to drag the bar over her knees due to the angle of her motion. The bar was in the same path until it got to her knees.

[@joshk7928]

Great tips Coach. Thanks for sharing 💪🖒🖒

[@mrminutetv]

Alright! So that's what RDL stands for. Great video, Coach PJ. Is there a certain distance between legs/feet? Like shoulder wide / or wider? Thank you!

[@CoachPJNestler]

Thanks for your comment! As a general rule I start with the feet hip width apart, but this can change depending on the specific goal. For instance, I use a narrow stance for my hockey athletes to hit different parts of the hamstring muscles in specific ways, to correct imbalances that come from so many hours of skating. But generally speaking for most people, hip width is a good starting point
