Poster: RDL newbie
Subject: RE: PLYOMETRICALS
Body:

Runningart2004,

Can you please tell me the proper technique for performing the RDL? It seems like that everytime I do it my lower back is being worked out versus my hamstrings/glutes. Is it okay to allow the back to very slightly straighten up OR is it a huge no-no and to keep the natural curve in the back at all costs? If I go even a couple inches below the knee, my back starts to slightly straighten because my hamstrings are pretty inflexible (which I allow to happen, although I don't go any lower as I actually go from slight straightening to start rounding my back). Could this be causing the extra load on the lower back? Thanks.
