The Romanian Deadlift (RDL) can work as a supplemental exercise to increase your regular deadlift and is great for those days that you may not have the most energy to workout. Also The difference of a regular deadlift and a Romanian Deadlift is the fact that you are going from top to bottom vs bottom to top. It's a great way to build up beefy hamstrings, glutes, and spinal erectors. But with that being said about the Romanian Deadlift, there are some common mistakes that I see people do that can cause injury.
Mistake Number One:
A rounded back. The RDL, Romanian Deadlift is a hip-hinge movement and without proper form, you back will become rounded and unbalanced which can cause injury while performing the RDL.
Mistake Number Two:
Finding your knees forward or making more of a squat-hinge while performing the Romanian Deadlift. If under a heavy enough load, you could injure your knees if your knees are too far forward.
Mistake Number Three:
Over-extended range of motion and rounding the lumbar motion. Some think to get the biggest benefit from the Romanian Deadlift (RDL) is to go all the way to the floor. That is wrong because the ideal place to let the barbell get to is the middle of shin. This also goes for if you are elevated off the floor on a plyometric box, that puts a lot of pressure on your lower back.
Mistake Number Four:
Dropping your hips when doing the RDL. A proper hip-hinge will prevent this.
