Hamstring (Romanian) deadlifting is key to building overall back, glute and hamstring strength. It also helps to build core strength and is suitable for those not suffering with acute back pain. When done correctly, it helps to reinforce correct movement patterns and can help to build good posterior chain, back and core strength which provide a good foundation for doing other types of exercise and general ability to do domestic chores and lifting around the home. Start off with light as possible and then build progressively.
