Raising and lowering the upper body while standing ► romanian deadlift

Individual work

Stand upright with your feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent, hold an object (e.g. rucksack or sandbag) in front of your body with your arms hanging straight out in front of you, tilt your upper body forwards so that the object can be brought to the floor in front of your feet. Raise your upper body to return to the starting position.

Attention:
Leg position remains unchanged.

Lighten:
Less/no weight.

Harden:
Hold the weight in front of your chest, on your neck or holding it up; more weight.

Variant:
Lower your upper body with a straight back (lower the object less far to the floor).
