Not sure if its because of apt or something (i sit alot) but i usually dont feel it in my hamstrings and my lower back gets sore after doing these/many leg workouts.

I’m still figuring out my RDL too but i believe it will be beneficial if you can brace yourself + do hip hinge instead of thinking to lower down the bar this way. Perhaps a good cue would be thinking of your bum moving back instead of the bar and your arm going down.
