Here for the algorithm! When I first learned deadlifts, I don't think they were called RDLs and I had no idea what that stood for, but I was in high school, so we just called them "bend and snaps". The first variation I ever learned was single-leg dead lifts using a resistance band anchored to something heavy, which are VERY fun!

Love the RDL. One of my favorite moves in general. Would like to use a trap bar one day to lift if I can ever get regular access to a gym.

It's definitely a fun way to get more weight on the bar :)

These are such helpful videos. I really enjoy an RDL. I have been enjoying honing that technique and very pleased when I’m able to (safely) go up in weight. I used to think I was “feeling them in my low back” in a bad way because people would say that a lot and I got in my head about it, but I realised I was never actually in any pain at all and I was just feeling the result of working my muscles in that way for the first time and there was any concerning issue. I’d love to try deadlifting with a trap bar some time, but I don’t have access to one sadly. A side note: Kevin has been doing a great job on filming!

Yessss “feeling it” doesn’t necessarily equal pain!

I remember all your original deadlift tips from the old video (like "imagine you need to close the door using just your butt" or "hold your dumbells very close to your legs, like you're trying to shave them!") and they helped me A LOT, so I'm excited to learn from an even more experienced Justina. : ) I came here just to say that my favorite DL variation would be...single leg deadlifts! 'Cause they're just fun! Right?! Hope you'll have the time of your life on this vacation!

How do you do a deadlift with minibands? For several months, I'll be moving around a lot and I'm training with minibands only, and it's been really difficult for me to put together a routine since there isn't much information available, or at least it's not clear to me. I would love for you to make a video about a good workout split or what are the basic and necessary exercises to incorporate with minibands. Thank you!
