If you find that whenever you're doing Romanian deadlifts, you always end up hurting your lower back, here's an exercise variation you might be able to try instead. It's going to be called a landmine deadlift, and essentially you're going to take the barbell and you can either put it into a landmine attachment or just put it into the corner of the gym or corner of the wall at your house. And then you're simply going to perform a Romanian deadlift variation like you see me doing right here from that instead of using a barbell or a dumbbell. Because the weight is loaded down in front of you, it usually takes a lot of pressure off of your lower back while still working your glutes and hamstrings. Try it out. Let me know any questions, and I hope it helped.
