Barbell Landmine Romanian Deadlift
A step-by-step form guide from the Ægir Iron exercise library: how to do the lift, what to watch for, and the muscles it trains.
- Equipment
- Barbell
HOW TO PERFORM
- Load the free end of a landmine bar, face the anchor and lift the end to your hips, holding it in both hands with the arms straight.
- Soften the knees and push the hips BACK, letting the bar travel down in front of the legs with a flat back.
- Stop when the hamstrings will not let the hips go further back, then drive the hips forward to stand tall.
FORM TIPS
- Keep the plates off the floor for the whole set. Touching down turns each rep into a deadlift.
