Barbell Straight Leg Deadlift
Performing the: A Step-by-Step Tutorial Barbell Straight Leg Deadlift
- Keep your back straight and your knees slightly bent, then slowly bend at the waist while keeping your head up, and lower the barbell over your feet without bending your knees more.
- Lower the weight as far as your flexibility allows, but not further than your shins, while keeping the bar close to your body.
- Begin to lift your torso back up to the original position by pushing your hips forward and straightening your back, all while keeping the barbell close to your body.
- Repeat this movement for the desired amount of repetitions, ensuring your back stays straight and you're using your hips and hamstrings to lift the weight, not your back.
