Romanian Deadlifts aka RDL’s are the best compound exercise to target your hamstrings and the rest of the posterior chain.
It is also the best exercise for learning how to hinge at the hips which is an essential movement every person should know in and out of the gym.
Besides being a great hamstring exercise, it allows you to load up a lot of weight and activate almost every muscle of the body; resulting in higher muscle gains, and calorie burn, compared to any other hamstring exercise out there.
Start adding RDL’s to your routine ASAP, and remember to descend as low as you can while maintaining a neutral spine. Everyone’s depth will be a result of their mobility. Do not compromise your spine to get a greater hamstring stretch.
