Cable Romanian Deadlift

How to perform

Here are the step by step instructions to perform the Cable Romanian Deadlift:

1. Begin by setting up a cable machine with a straight bar attachment at the lowest setting. Stand facing away from the machine with your feet shoulder-width apart and your knees slightly bent.

2. Grab the straight bar attachment with an overhand grip, making sure your hands are shoulder-width apart.

3. Brace your core and keep your back straight as you hinge at the hips to lower the bar towards the floor. Your knees should remain slightly bent throughout the movement.

4. Keep the bar close to your body as you lower it down, feeling a stretch in your hamstrings and glutes.

5. Once you feel a stretch in your hamstrings, engage your hamstrings and glutes to return to the starting position by driving your hips forward.

6. Repeat for the desired number of reps.

7. To ensure proper form, make sure to keep your back straight, chest up, and shoulders back throughout the movement. Focus on engaging your hamstrings and glutes to lift the weight, rather than using your lower back.

8. Remember to start with a lighter weight to ensure proper form before increasing the resistance.

Equipment required

Cable
Cable equipment consists of adjustable pulleys attached to weight stacks that allow for resistance training. This equipment is commonly used for strength training exercises that target various muscle groups in the body, such as chest, back, arms, and legs. Cable equipment provides a versatile and functional way to perform exercises that mimic real-life movements, improving muscle endurance, stability, and coordination.
