One move
Band Romanian Deadlift
How to read ahead. Do to go one move at a time.
Stand on the band. Soft knees. Hinge at the hips, then stand by squeezing the glutes. The back stays long. This is a hinge, not a squat.
Option. Shorten the range until the back stays flat. No band: Bodyweight Good Morning, hands at the chest. Iron pumper: a thicker band, a four-count lower, or a pause just above the stretch.

-
1
Stand on the middle of the band. Hold the handles at the hips or just outside the thighs.
-
2
Soft knees. Push the hips back. The band stretches as the torso leans. Keep the back long and the chest proud.
-
3
Stop when you feel the hamstrings, not when the back rounds.
-
4
Stand by squeezing the glutes. Finish tall. Do not yank with the low back.
-
5
Lower with control. Breathe in on the way down, out as you stand.
-
6
Cut the range or drop to a lighter band if the back rounds or the knees travel forward like a squat.
