04 SPLIT-STANCE ROMANIAN DEADLIFT
Targets: Hamstrings, glutes, lower back
Do: 3 to 4 sets of 8 to 12 reps on each side (a) Holding a dumbbell in each hand, stand with your feet hip-width apart before stepping your right foot half a foot backwards to create a split stance. Squeeze your shoulder blades together and hinge at the hips, making sure you keep your spine neutral throughout. (b) When you can feel a stretch in your hamstrings and can no longer push your hips back without bending from your spine, exhale and extend your hips forward to return to the starting position. Looks easy. Very much isn’t.
