This is the difference between a Romanian Deadlift and a Stiff Leg Deadlift 💁🏻‍♂️ A comparison I like to give to help explain the difference between the 2 is using a bent over barbell row vs a pendlay row. The body position on both of these exercises is exactly the same as each other, but the difference is in the way they are performed. A Romanian deadlift has a “top down” focus and places large emphasis on the eccentric or the lowering portion of the movement and places constant tension on th

Stiff leg deadlift vs Romanian deadlift Both are great hinge movements, they both target the glutes and hamstrings however one focuses on more than the other. 👉🏻Stiff leg deadlift: Minimal knee bend, really focusing on stretching and working those hamstrings. 👉🏻Romanian deadlift (RDL): A slight bend in the knees, bringing more emphasis on the glutes while still hitting the hamstrings. I favour RDLS as a whole but if you did want to really hit the hamstrings, stiff leg is where it’s at 👌🏼 #
