Stiff Legged Deadlift

This is an excellent exercise for the hamstrings, glutes and lower back when performed properly. When performed improperly, however, it can cause lower back pain and injury.

How to do:
1. Stand with a narrow stance, legs and upper body straight.

2. Slowly bend over until your back is parallel to the floor.

3. Grip a barbell on the floor. Your hands should be slightly wider than your shoulders And your grip can either be overhand or mixed if you have a heavy weight.

4. Inhale and hold your breath as you raise your body.

5. When you reach an upright position exhale and lower the weight.

6. You may perform this exercise from a platform for greater reach.
