Lower the barbell sumo romanian deadlift by sliding it down your legs, keeping the bar close to your body 4. Go down until you feel a good stretch in your hamstrings, usually mid-shin level 5. Drive your hips forward and squeeze glutes to return to starting position for the barbell sumo romanian deadlift
• Keep your knees tracking over your toes throughout the entire barbell sumo romanian deadlift movement • Maintain a slight bend in your knees - don't lock them out completely • Focus on the hip hinge pattern during barbell sumo romanian deadlift, not squatting down • Keep the bar path straight and close to your body at all times
• Turning the barbell sumo romanian deadlift into a squat by bending knees too much instead of hinging at hips • Letting the bar drift away from your body, which puts dangerous stress on your lower back • Using too wide of a stance in barbell sumo romanian deadlift, which limits your range of motion and muscle activation
