Back Pain from RDLs

I have a friend that’s suffering from low back pain when performing a two-handed kettlebell romanian deadlift. This exercise requires stability and for a lot of people, their stabilizing muscles are not strong.

Another issue I see with people performing this exercise is that they let the weight get away from them. If you don’t keep the weight close to your body and let it drift away from you, this is one reason why it causes lower back pain. The further away the weight, the less leverage you have.

Options you have to help with this movement are foam roller assisted RDLs, lowering the heaviness of the weight or switching to a Two-Handed DB RDL.
