(created 2023-05-09) containing an English single-speaker instructional fitness clip in which Eric Roberts gives coaching cues for performing Romanian deadlifts: tuck the chin back (neutral neck), "screw" the shoulder/arm into the side to engage the lats and protect the lower back, hinge the hips back toward the wall rather than lowering the weight, feel the stretch in the back of the legs, then drive forward to stand.

The next time you're doing these Romanian deadlifts, make sure to do these three things. I want you to first notice how before I go down and as I go down, I tuck my chin backwards and keep it there the entire time. I'm not looking up or I'm not looking down. Just tuck your chin back behind you and keep it there as you go down. Number two, when you're holding the weight, I want you to think about screwing your shoulder and your arm into the. Side of your body. So if you were to screw it in and keep your armpit shut, this will help you brace something called your lats, which will help you keep your lower back safe. And then number 3, as opposed to thinking about going down with the weight, I really want you to just think about going back with your hips towards the wall behind you. And then once you feel the back of your legs stretch, just start to go back forward and stand up. Hope it helped.
