Shin Angle in RDLs Does It Matter?

Vertical shins keep tension on hamstrings

Shin angle matters less than hinge

RDLs work best with quiet shins

Less shin travel more posterior chain

Neutral shins protect knee mechanics

Hamstrings load harder with fixed shins

Minimal shin movement keeps RDL pure

Quiet shins maintain true hip hinge

Vertical shins keep bar path optimal

Shin stability separates RDLs from deadlifts
