Band Romanian Deadlift — Technique Guide
BB
By Borja Bes — CrossFit Athlete & Hyrox Finisher
Band Romanian Deadlift is a resistance-band hinge that loads the lockout more heavily than the bottom position. Equipment: Resistance band. To establish a repeatable position, stand on the band with both feet and hold the ends in front of the thighs with shoulders set. From there, send the hips back while the hands track down the legs, then drive the floor away and finish tall. The movement belongs in deliberate strength, accessory, or compatible conditioning work rather than being added randomly for novelty. Keep the band under the mid-foot and stop descending when hamstring tension can no longer be held with a neutral trunk. Select resistance that preserves the intended pattern from the first repetition to the last.
