Romanian Deadlift Vs. Deadlift — Their Main Difference

Romanian Deadlift Vs. Deadlift

The Romanian Deadlift (RDL) and Conventional Deadlift are popular exercises among all fitness enthusiasts. They both have the goal of training the posterior chain, but they're different in nature.

The deadlift involves picking up a barbell from the floor, while the RDL focuses on the eccentric portion, or lowering phase of the deadlift. The shortened range of motion and slight hip hinge difference makes the RDL exercise different from the deadlift.

Is one BETTER than the other?

No. It all comes down to the context in which you're planning to use the Romanian Deadlift and Conventional Deadlift.

The RDL is great for isolating and focusing on the hamstrings, while also working on one's hip hinge and body postures for movements like the snatch and clean & jerk.

The deadlift is great for building top-end strength and packing on mass as a whole.

The best advice — use BOTH in your training!
