Stop letting momentum do the work.
This is the Dead Stop RDL.
I’m not usually one for random exercise variations but this small tweak to a traditional RDL is 🔥🔥🔥
By briefly setting the weight on the floor each rep, you:
✅ Eliminate the stretch reflex and momentum.
✅ Force your hamstrings and glutes to generate force from a dead stop.
✅ Improve balance and hip stability (especially in the single-leg variation).
✅ Build better control through the entire movement—not just the easy part.
It looks like a small change, but you’ll feel the difference after the first few reps.
Have you tried this variation before?
