Barbell Sumo Romanian Deadlift
To Set Up:
Begin standing with your feet twice hip width apart and toes pointing slightly out. Hold the barbell in front of your thighs, with hands in line with your shoulders. Draw your shoulders back, and very slightly bend your knees.
To Perform:
Push your hips rearward and bring your torso towards the floor. The barbell should travel downward, just in front of your legs. In the bottom position your torso should be roughly parallel to the floor, and your shins should be vertical. Pause for a moment in this position before returning to the start position.
