How to perform the stiff leg deadlift
- Stand with your feet hip-width apart, holding a barbell or dumbbells in front of your thighs with an overhand grip. Keep your knees slightly bent and your back straight. Engage your core and hinge at your hips, lowering the weight down the front of your legs. Keep the weight close to your body and maintain a straight back throughout the movement. Lower the weight until you feel a stretch in your hamstrings, then engage your glutes and hamstrings to return to the starting position.
