How to do Stiff Leg Deadlift: - Stand facing the barbell with your feet around shoulder width apart. - Bend down with your knees and grasp the barbell using an overhand grip (palms facing down) with your hands around shoulder width apart or wider. - Keeping your back straight stand straight up resting the barbell on your thighs. - Get set up for the movement by pulling your shoulders back, sticking your chest out, and arching your back slightly. - Keeping your eyes facing forwards, slowly bend at the hips lowering the barbell straight down close to your body. - You should feel the stretch in your hamstrings! - Lower the bar down as far as your hamstrings will let you comfortably. - Now engage the hamstrings and begin to raise the bar straight back up. - Your eyes should be facing up and your shoulders back. This will prevent your lower back from rounding. - Squeeze up through the glutes and hamstrings until you're standing straight up. - Repeat for desired reps.
