Barbell Romanian Deadlift to Row

1. Stand with your feet hip-width apart, holding a barbell with an overhand grip, hands shoulder-width apart.

2. Slightly bend your knees and hinge at your hips to lower the barbell, keeping your back flat and shoulders pulled back.

3. Lower the barbell to around mid-shin level, or as far as flexibility allows without rounding your back.

4. Keeping your core engaged, pull the barbell towards your lower abdomen, leading with your elbows and squeezing your shoulder blades together. This is the rowing motion.

5. Lower the barbell back down to the starting position of the Romanian deadlift.

6. Return to the standing position by extending through your hips and knees, driving your feet through the floor and squeezing your glutes.

7. This completes one repetition.
