Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to set up your Romanian Deadlifts (RDLs) on a power rack. This setup helps you start the movement from the top, ensuring better form and safety for heavier lifts.
This video shows the power of repeating the same movement for years. Watch the evolution of my RDL form, proving that consistency and practice are the keys to mastering technique and building strength.
My leg press journey, then vs. now. I used to make mistakes like letting my butt come off the seat and having poor control. Now, I focus on controlling the eccentric and pulling myself into the seat for a better, safer lift.
Let's fix your glute kickbacks. I compare my old, ineffective form with my current technique, showing how to maintain a neutral back, move with control, and keep tension on the glute for maximum results.
If you're working your way up to a heavy barbell hip thrust, this is for you. This tutorial demonstrates how to properly set up for hip thrusts using a fixed barbell, a great option for progressive overload.

About Master Your Form: Exercise Tutorials
Recording your own lifts is the fastest way to fix form leaks. I always tell my clients to film their warm-up sets because when you watch it back, you will immediately see if your bar path is drifting or if your stance needs a tiny tweak before you go heavy.
Why technique is non-negotiable
I spent years in the gym guessing how to perform movements. I was moving weights from point A to point B without actually engaging the target muscle. That is exactly how you hit a plateau or pick up a nagging injury. My approach is simple: master the movement, then load it.
The 'Form First' philosophy
Whether you are performing Romanian Deadlifts (RDLs), barbell hip thrusts, or single-arm cable rows, the setup is 90% of the battle. If your setup is off, your lift is off.
- The RDL: Are you feeling it in your lower back instead of your glutes? You are likely letting the bar drift forward or going lower than your mobility allows.
- The Hip Thrust: Struggling to set up? I have videos showing how to use a fixed barbell so you can focus on the squeeze rather than fumbling with plates.
- The Leg Press: If your glutes are lifting off the seat, you aren't controlling the eccentric phase. It is about control, not how much weight you can stack on the machine.
How I help you improve
Learning from a video is great, but getting feedback is better. In my coaching programs, I don't just give you a spreadsheet. I ask you to film your lifts. I review your video form analysis to identify your specific strength leaks, so you aren't just 'working out'—you are actually training effectively.
Stop training in the dark. Let’s get your technique dialed in, so you can build strength safely and with confidence.
