Romanian Deadlift (RDL) to Clean Receive
Prerequisites:
Romanian Deadlift (RDL), Upright Row, Jump Shrug, Front Squat
Stance:
Neutral stance, feet are parallel and shoulder-width apart
Grip:
Arms grabbing barbell outside shoulders, palms facing down.
Body Position:
In standing position, arms straight and close to the body, barbell touching mid-thigh. Starting downward motion slowly now, with knees slightly bend, flex hips slowly towards 90˚, lowering barbell towards chins, head looking up, chest out, and shoulder blades pushed back. Once hips reach 90˚, upward motion starts by explosively extending hips forward, jumping upwards while shrugging shoulders towards ears. Barbell catapults upwards close to the body. Once barbell reaches chest, the elbows jump underneath the bar to 90 ˚ facing forward, catching barbell on top of the chest.
Common Errors:
Legs are fully extended at the beginning of downward motion.
No shrug, barbell travels upwards away from the body.
