Bodybuilding: Stiff Legged Dead Lifts With Barbell

Video Transcript

"The exercise that I'll be performing now, is the stiff legged dead lifts. Primarily hitting the hamstrings, also the gluts. Your hand position, you can hold the bar any way you want. I like to hold it one over and one under. Now, you want your legs to be slightly bent. You want to arch on your back and you chest up. You want to go ahead and bring the bar up, squeeze the hamstrings and then stretch out the hamstrings. Bring the bar down. Bring it up. When it's coming down, stretch out the hamstrings. Now, you don't want to come up all the way. It's not a dead lift. And, when you stretch it out you don't want the bar to touch the ground. You want to continue this motion. Do about six to eight reps. And, you want to do about three to four sets. And, that's how you perform the stiffed legged dead lift."
