Title: Conventional DL vs. Romnian DL
Post by: JelloPuddinPup on October 22, 2011, 06:58:59 pm

Can someone explain the difference/purpose of these? I've tried watching videos on YouTube and I see some small differences, but I tend to trust random YT videos very little.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

  RDL starts at the top, and goes down then up.  DL starts from the ground and then goes up.  The deadlift involves a "push" aspect bringing in the quads as well that is not present in a proper rdl.  The rdl is also usually performed with slightly less range of motion, though it can vary.
