Trap Bar Split Stance RDL
The split-stance Romanian deadlift inside a trap bar; the handles sit at the sides, so the load stays close.
How to do it
Setup
Standing in the trap bar, handles at the sides, back toes a step behind.
Steps
- Hinge over the front leg, handles lowering by the shins.
- Keep the back flat and the hips square.
- Return to standing, the hips driving through.
Common mistakes
Bar tilting toward the back foot: center your grip on the handles. Rounding to reach lower: stop at the hamstring stretch. Hips opening toward the back leg: keep them square to the front.
Breathing
Inhale hinging, exhale standing.
