Regular Deadlift vs. Romanian Deadlift: Key Differences and Dualbell Advantages

Deadlifts are a staple exercise for building strength, power, and muscle across the entire posterior chain. But did you know there’s more than one way to deadlift? Let’s break down the differences between the regular deadlift and the Romanian deadlift (RDL)—and explore how Dualbells unlock new possibilities for deadlift variations.

Regular Deadlift

The traditional deadlift is all about raw power. Starting from the floor, this full-body movement engages your glutes, hamstrings, back, and core while requiring maximum effort. You drive the weight upward by extending through the hips, knees, and ankles. The goal? To lift as much weight as possible while maintaining proper form. Regular deadlifts are excellent for strength building and improving overall athletic performance.

Romanian Deadlift (RDL)

In contrast, Romanian deadlifts emphasize hamstring and glute engagement. Starting with the weight at hip level, you hinge at the hips and lower the bar until you feel a stretch in your hamstrings—keeping a slight bend in your knees. The RDL focuses on controlled movement and a greater range of motion in the posterior chain, making it perfect for building muscle and flexibility.

The Dualbell Dumbbell to Barbell Converter Advantage

Traditionally, dumbbell only home workouts have limited deadlift enthusiasts to dumbbell moves, which can restrict the amount of weight you can lift. Enter Dualbells: a game-changer for turning your dumbbells into barbell-ready weight plates. In the video below, I demonstrate how Dualbells allowed me to perform both regular and Romanian deadlifts using four dumbbells (Dualbell Superset) on a standard bar.

Why is this significant? For starters, you’re no longer capped by the limitations of your dumbbell set. With Dualbells, you can easily increase the weight to challenge yourself and build strength more effectively. Additionally, using a bar with Dualbells enhances stability and mimics the traditional barbell deadlift experience without the need for expensive plates or dedicated storage space.

Deadlift Diversity For Your Home Gym

Whether you’re lifting heavy with regular deadlifts or isolating your hamstrings with RDLs, Dualbells make it possible to expand your home gym workouts. You get the versatility of dumbbells paired with the benefits of barbell exercises—all while saving money and space.
