Straight-leg RDLs hit your hamstrings harder and limit depth. Add knee bend to shift work to your glutes and go deeper. Hold dumbbells at an angle by your sides instead of in front to ease lower back pressure.

Okay, okay. When you do RDLs with your legs straight, you're gonna work more of your hamstring and you won't go down as low. But when you do RDLs with more of a knee bend, you're gonna work more of your glutes and you will get down lower. And one more bonus tip, don't have the dumbbells in front of you when doing RDLs. Instead, move them at an angle by your sides because this will put less pressure on your back. And follow for more tips.
