Straight Leg Deadlift
Barbels
Primary: Hamstrings
Secondary: Lats, Upper Back, Lower Back, Glutes
Step-by-Step Instructions
Stand in front of a loaded barbell.
Position your feet underneath and have your shins a couple of inches from the bar.
Lean forward by hinging at the hips.
Grab the bar with a double overhand grip (palms facing back).
Bring your shoulders back and engage your abs. Keep your legs straight.
Take a breath and pull the bar in a straight vertical line while pushing through your heels.
Squeeze your glutes at the top and exhale.
Slowly lower the bar in the same straight line and breathe in on the way down or before initiating the next rep.
