That is not a Romanian deadlift, that is a standard deadlift and it is what most people picture when you talk about a deadlift. The deadlift is pretty damn close to being the king for the back. It hits pretty much everything when done correctly. Power lifters swear by it because they do it in competition.

The deadlift is impressive because it's you and the bar on the floor. All ya gotta is pick that bar up and pull it up...which can get pretty damn hard when the weight gets heavy.
Most of my training at the moment revolves around olympic lifts.
