How do I film my Romanian deadlift for a form check?

Put your phone at hip height a few meters directly to your side, keeping your whole body and the bar in frame for the full set. The side view is what lets the AI read your hinge angle and bar path.

How is the RDL check different from the deadlift check?

The RDL analyzer expects knees to stay fixed and flags knee angle changes over about 20 degrees, checks hinge depth by hip angle rather than floor contact, and holds bar drift to a tighter standard since the bar never leaves your legs.

Can AI tell if I am hinging deep enough?

Yes. The analyzer measures your hip angle at the deepest point of every rep and flags hinges that stay too shallow, so you can see whether you are actually loading the hamstrings or just bowing politely.

What does the RDL form report include?

Per-rep verdicts on hinge depth, back rounding, knee bend and knee travel, horizontal bar drift, lockout at the top, and lateral stability, plus tempo timing for every rep in the set.

Film your RDL set from the side, upload it, and the AI scores every rep. It measures the hinge itself: how deep you go, whether your knees stay fixed, whether your back stays flat, and how close the bar stays to your legs.

Every rep, scored

What the AI checks on your romanian deadlift.

Hinge depth: Your hip angle is measured at the bottom of every rep, so hinges that stop short of a real hamstring stretch get flagged.
Back rounding: Sudden changes in your trunk angle during the descent are summed up per rep, catching a spine that gives way as the bar lowers.
Fixed knees: RDL knees should bend slightly and stay there. Too much knee bend at the bottom, or knees that travel during the rep, both get flagged.
Bar path: Horizontal bar drift is measured per rep. The bar should slide down close to your legs, not swing out in front of you.
Lockout: Hip extension is checked at the top of every rep, flagging reps where you never return to a full standing position.
Lateral stability: Hip and shoulder side-to-side movement is tracked, catching weight shifting to one side during the hinge.

Common faults

Mistakes it catches.

Squatting the RDL: Bending the knees too much at the bottom, which turns the hip hinge into a half squat and takes tension off the hamstrings.
Rounding on the way down: The back angle breaking during the descent, flagged rep by rep with the size of the change.
Cutting the hinge short: Stopping high before the hamstrings load, often from moving too fast or chasing too much weight.
Bar drifting away: The bar swinging forward off your legs, which loads the lower back instead of the hips.
