🍑 RDL vs Stiff-Leg Deadlift
These look almost identical.
They’re not.
The Romanian Deadlift (RDL) keeps a slight bend in your knees.
That bend allows you to load your glutes while keeping tension through the entire movement.
The stiff-leg deadlift reduces that bend.
More stretch on the hamstrings, less control for most people.
Here’s the problem…
Most people turn both into a lower back exercise.
If your goal is glutes, the RDL wins.
More control. Better tension. Safer loading.
If your goal is just to “feel a stretch,” you’ll chase stiff-leg deadlifts and miss the point.
Control builds glutes.
Not just stretching.
