Stiff Leg Dead Lifts

Commence the exercise with your legs and arms straight, bending over from the waist, keeping your legs locked out (straight). You should always aim to warm up your back and hamstring muscles with light weights and stretching prior to performing this exercise.

Grasp a suitably weighted dumbbell in each hand, keeping the weight close to your feet, having your feet 8 – 10 inches apart.

Smoothly straighten your back using the muscles of your lower back, keeping the weights close to your legs throughout the movement.

Lower the weights down to the floor, keeping your legs straight in order to keep your back muscles contracted to maximize exercise benefit.
