Smith Machine Romanian Deadlift

The Smith machine Romanian deadlift targets the hamstrings, glutes, and lower back. Here’s how to do it:

1. Position the barbell at thigh height and stand facing the bar, feet shoulder-width apart.
2. Grip the bar with an overhand grip, hands shoulder-width apart.
3. Unrack the bar and step back, keeping your feet shoulder-width apart.
4. With a slight bend in your knees, hinge at your hips to lower the bar down your legs, keeping your back straight.
5. Lower the bar until you feel a stretch in your hamstrings.
6. Push through your heels to return to the starting position, keeping the bar close to your legs.
7. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
