Strength / Smith Machine
A Romanian deadlift performed on a Smith machine, fixing the bar path so you can focus on the hip hinge and posterior-chain stretch.
Smith Machine
beginner
compound
Set the Smith machine bar at mid-thigh height and stand directly underneath with feet hip-width.
Unrack the bar with an overhand grip just outside the hips.
Push the hips back while letting the bar slide down the front of the legs.
Go until you feel a deep hamstring stretch, with a flat back and a soft knee bend.
Drive the hips forward to return to standing, keeping the bar close to the body.
Repeat for the recommended number of repetitions.
Choose a load and range you can control. These instructions are general guidance, not a substitute for individual coaching.
