For Hip Dominant, there are a lot of exercises to choose from other than just Deadlift.

I am not sure if Leg Curls and Hamstring Plate Drags are considered hip dominant though because they are both single joint.


If you do not include hip dominant exercises, you will go into anterior tilt. I have anterior tilt and I am working on getting rid of it now. Too much quad dominant work will tighten up the hip flexors and put you into anterior pelvic tilt.

I recommend reading these 2 articles on Deadlift and RDL form. They can be done with barbells or dumbbells.
