The most common mistake with RDLs is pushing everything back and putting too much weight in the heels.
🤔 This feels like a good stretch at first, but if you're feeling it behind your knee that's not a hamstring stretch. That's neural tension.
Instead, maintain a positive shin angle by keeping your kneecaps above your shoelaces.
🏋🏽♂️ Then shift just the hips back.
This puts the stretch on the glutes and hamstrings not the sciatic nerve.
