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

[@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!

[@101byrdie]

@Issac Bentlee creepy af dude.

[@hamzac.4555]

def you took words out of my mouth

[@coryaw95]

He talks for half the video...

[@IssaMeZane]

@@coryaw95 Can't be this stupid, right? He's obviously getting right into it and talking how to do it.

[@Dizzydawne]

@@coryaw95 yeah but it’s not nonsense unless you can’t understand what he’s saying

[@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

[@rajawi5828]

I don't know why this exercise is so hard for me i can't do it right

[@matrepharaoh8260]

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

[@shungiteoracle1297]

Omg no seriously I feel the same it looks simple but actually quite hard I have to keep looking in the mirror

[@GlaciusDreams]

@@matrepharaoh826010000000% this.

[@robyne357]

Thank you for this reminder about keeping the bar close and not hyper extending. My lower back was crying!

[@AP-tl3qo]

I’ve always wondered why I had such bad lower back pain doing this. I didn’t know Something as simple as lifting the neck looking up was causing it. Thank you!

[@CoachPJNestler]

I'm happy that this helped you!

[@davestopa999]

Same here, it's such a simple detail but when I train now my lower back pain is gone, amazing.

[@susanaplantbasedadoptacat1677]

wow, not a second wasted. thank you so much for all these videos

[@CoachPJNestler]

Thank you for your kind words and support!

[@lamsam1164]

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!

[@lolacullen121212]

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

[@jscherwin1]

Crazy to see Paul Ryan doing KZbin videos now

[@candacebordelonph.d.8890]

[@pattytum2]

So when you come back up you need to pop back up???? I though you came back up slowly

[@a.jlondon9947]

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

[@SwtSunshineL8R]

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

[@raquelfloris4911]

Thank you. I have been doing this for years and never knew about my head and facing down. Just been told tonight I'm doing it wrong. 7 years of doing it wrong. So thanks for this video

[@bobcarter2299]

Excellent teaching! I agree 100%... and I'm still training correctly for all these decades! No ego lifting for this cat!

[@chip2881]

Unfortunately I found this video too late, well when I'm recovered will be doing this!

[@Tapleley]

This was so helpful..been doing it wrong all this time. Thank you 🙏🏾

[@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!!

[@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!

[@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

[@veselinslavkov3478]

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

[@summerrain2171]

I’m happy I was actually doing it right I was confused because some guys keep looking at me then whispering to each other so I was like 😅🙁”im probably doing it wrong

[@autumnonpurpose]

Lol

[@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.

[@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!!

[@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!!!

[@Major.Tom.1973]

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!

[@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.

[@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!

[@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

[@TailoredTechnique]

loving these videos man

[@curlpress1182]

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

[@BeeDingaling]

Just discovered your videos. They are absolutely awesome man

[@bethanygill9916]

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

[@breakarm8782]

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

[@patriciastarchia4712]

Wow - when you know better- you do better!!

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

[@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.

[@MsPurpleGoddess]

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

[@GroBom78]

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

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

[@fundifferent1]

DANG. Paul Ryan said "All the way down!" 🖐

[@endiya.]

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

[@yafethyafeth2061]

Great explanation and also getting right to it. Thank you.

[@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

[@brendaorozco1195]

I have been doing wrong all my life 🤦🏽‍♀️

[@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

[@averyyy3582]

Well its a hamstring exercise so i thinks thats okay

[@youngfil]

Thanks. This vid just saved my back.

[@anthonygregorio2208]

Why do people feel they have to perform the concentric so fast. You’re not doing a kettlebell swing. Slow and smooth maintains that good mind muscle connection.

[@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).

[@AshleysLand]

Thank you I was messing up form trying to go way past my shins thanks for letting me know it’s okay

[@jaywil2488]

Paul Ryan does weight lifting videos?

What's funny is that you're not too far off. Apparently Paul Ryan taught a P90X class in Washington.

[@srinivaschaitanya3305]

I am currently trying RDLs ..but I cannot feel the pressure in my hamstring..but my lowerback hurts a lot..I will keep my neck down and try it tomorrow..thanks for the great tip

[@Maysbanna]

Now I can do it right 👍🏻👍🏻

[@GodSlappedMe92]

Huh…. I did not know about the neck. The mirrors in front of the racks sorta make you look up

[@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!

[@katelynhumenik]

I tried it this way where I’m looking down and pushing my hips back when I squat but I still feel pain in my lower back

[@Synorix]

Same here, really sucks I can't do the exercise

[@BerzerkerXking]

Great video thanks for posting

[@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.

[@gafaicheng]

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.

[@PatMcCann]

To be clear once you get into soft knees position, do you keep the this angle all the way down? If you do the bar will theoretically move away from the body. In the video the demonstrator appears to hinge further at the knees to keep the bar close. Are we supposed to force the bar towards shins? Thank you for this concise instruction.
