In addition of above information, keep in mind in RDL your knee joint is soft and the bar very close to your leg while in DL your knee bending and the bar alittle far from your leg
Workout Addict
:
RDL works both the glutes and hamstrings.It works the hamstrings more if the legs are straight. It works the glutes more if the legs are bent. It also works the forearms, upper and mid traps, and a little bit of the abs.
Deadlift works the quads, hamstrings, glutes, and lower back. It also works the forearms, upper and mid traps, and a little bit of the abs.

I guess it should be RDLs vs SLDL vs Conventional DL vs Good Mornings, all of them confuse me, constantly -
Romanian Deadlift (RDL): Initiated from the top standing position, lowering the bar to just below the knees before feeling a stretch in the hamstrings. It places high tension on the glutes and hamstrings for hypertrophy and it's safer for the lower back.
Stiff-Leg Deadlift (SLDL): Begins with the bar on the floor, focusing on the upward movement (concentric), with the hips staying higher with almost locked knees and slightly less knee bend. It often involves tapping the floor, targeting the hamstrings and lower back more intensely than the RDL.
Conventional Deadlift: Starts from the floor, involving significantly more knee bend and quad activation, utilizing a full-body movement to move maximum weight.
Good Morning: The barbell is on the back. It puts significantly higher stress on the lower back/erectors and requires greater core stability than the others.

☝🏼True. It also has a slight difference in focus angle on the eccentric movement.
Deadlift focused more on quads, slightly more knee bend.
RDL focused more on glutes and hamstrings, less knee bend.

DL you start bent over with bar on the floor and use a bit more ROM.
RDL you start standing up with bar in hands and use less ROM.
All there is to it ☝️🤓
