How to do the Loop Band Romanian Deadlift

4 steps, in the order you do them.

Step on the band with your feet hip-width apart and hold one end in each hand.
With your knees slightly bent, push your hips back and lower your hands close to your legs.
Lower until you feel a stretch in the back of your thighs, without rounding your back.
Come up by driving your hips forward and squeeze your glutes at the top, where the band pulls the most.

What goes wrong most often when you do the Loop Band Romanian Deadlift, and how to fix it.

You step on the band with your feet together and it shifts to one side.
Step on the band with both feet hip-width apart, centered under your arches.
At the top, the band pulls your shoulders forward.
At the end of each rep, pull your shoulders back and stand tall against the band's tension.
Since the bottom feels easy, you lower fast and round your back.
Lower slowly even when the band goes slack, and stop when your back stops being straight.
