The main difference between a Romanian deadlift and a stiff-leg deadlift is the degree of knee bend. The Romanian deadlift allows for more knee bend, creating a smaller angle between the hamstrings and calves at the bottom of the movement, while also emphasizing a greater hip hinge with the butt pushing further back. In contrast, the stiff-leg deadlift involves minimal knee bend, resulting in a larger angle between the hamstrings and calves, with the hips staying more forward. Both exercises target the glutes, hamstrings, and lower back, but the Romanian deadlift places more emphasis on the glutes, whereas the stiff-leg deadlift shifts more focus onto the hamstrings.
