Stiff-Leg Deadlift
How to
Barbell- 1 Stand with the bar at the hips, legs nearly straight.
- 2 Hinge and lower the bar toward the floor.
- 3 Stand back up by driving the hips forward.
Tips
- Unlike a Romanian deadlift, the bar goes to or near the floor every rep.
- Keep a slight bend in the knees; locked knees strain the back of the knee.
- End the range where the back would start to round.
Common mistakes
- Rounding the back to touch the floor.
- Bending the knees more until it becomes a deadlift.
- Letting the bar drift away from the legs.
