Today, let me give you my “Rulon Rules” to Romanain Deadlift. About a month ago, I chatted about deadlifts. Romanian Deadlifts (RDL) are a great way to really work the posterior chain, which helps us to move propel forward. If we strengthen the posterior chain, this will help us to run faster, which is what we all need heading into our triathlon season.

The RDL is when the athlete starts the movement at full extension in the hip and lowers it slightly pass the knees.
