Glute RDL

This is a glute activation specific RDL or stiff leg deadlift
Cues:
•use the TDX resistance band around quads so you can execute forward lean
•start with bar so hip angle is no less than 130 degrees
•drive heels into ground
•pinch glutes
•fight the urge to pull back
•I am pulling up but trying to stay forward as well as on the negative
•if your hips are swaying back and forth it’s too much weight, going too fast and improper form.
•keep a flat or almost rounded back. You can tuck chin. This is not a heavy weight exercise.
