E. 178 How to Do the B-Stance RDL for Maximum Glute Growth

from Self-Selecting · host Cory Hageman

How do you actually perform the B-Stance Romanian Deadlift correctly?In this episode, I break down one of the most misunderstood glute-building exercises in strength training: the contralaterally loaded B-Stance RDL. I explain why this movement is designed to challenge hip and pelvic stability, how proper loading improves glute development, and the common compensations that reduce its effectiveness.I also cover why center of mass, core bracing, hip positioning, and foot pressure matter more than simply lifting heavier weights. Whether you're a physique athlete, bodybuilder, or someone looking to build stronger, more symmetrical glutes, this episode will help you improve your technique, eliminate common mistakes, and get more from every rep.Timestamps:- [00:00 – 05:18] – Why the B-Stance RDL Is So Often Done Incorrectly- [05:18 – 08:47] – Contralateral Loading, Hip Stability & Glute Growth- [08:47 – 14:15] – Unilateral Mechanics, Asymmetries & How the Movement Should Work- [14:15 – 18:00] – B-Stance RDL Setup & Technique Checklist- [18:00 – 22:07] – Why You Feel Your Lower Back During RDLs- [22:07 – 25:58] – Understanding Center of Mass & Balance- [25:58 – 29:11] – Contralateral vs. Ipsilateral Loading & Adductor Recruitment- [29:11 – 31:50] – The Most Common Hip Compensation Mistakes- [31:50 – 34:44] – Building Better Glutes Through Better TechniqueLinks & Resources:Purchase The Complete Fat Loss Guide: https://coryfit.com/product/the-complete-fat-loss-guide/Purchase The Glute Building Blueprint: https://coryfit.com/product/the-complete-glute-building-program/https://coryfit.com/⁠Coaching: Let's Chat⁠https://calendly.com/coryfit-coaching/15min⁠Consults: Book a Call⁠https://calendly.com/coryfit-coaching/one-time-consultationFor more content, follow along:⁠Instagram⁠: https://www.instagram.com/cory_fit/⁠Patreon⁠: https://patreon.com/CoryFit?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink
