Barbell RDL

The Romanian Deadlift is not only an integral part of olympic lifting, but an excellent exercise to develop strength in the hamstrings, glutes, traps, and lower back.

'going too low' is dictated not by an objective measure like '2cm from the floor' but by a measure relative to your body position. As long as your lowerback remains straight and spine is in neutral the lifter can and should go as low as possible. Some lifters have to stand on blocks to get their full range of motion. 'going too low' for some people means they cannot even raech to their knees as their hamstrings are too tight.

Yeah that is very true, it depends on how low your body will go along with keeping the correct form, this is where platforms come into play.

you went too low, the barbell was like 2cm from touching floor when you went down
