BARBELL STIFF-LEG DEADLIFT

Custom Training: Barbell Stiff-Leg Deadlift. One controlled movement out and back counts as one repetition. Train both sides equally for unilateral variants.

HOW TO PERFORM

1. 1

   Hold the bar close to the legs with only a small soft knee bend and stop before the back position changes.

2. 2

   Push the hips backward with softly bent knees while keeping the resistance close.

3. 3

   Return to standing by extending the hips, without leaning backward.
