The mid shin stiff legged barbell deadlift builds serious hamstring strength and flexibility. It targets your hamstrings more than regular deadlifts by keeping your legs straighter.
1. Stand with feet hip-width apart, holding a barbell with an overhand grip at hip level. 2. Keep your knees slightly bent and chest up as you begin the mid shin stiff legged barbell deadlift movement. 3. Slowly lower the barbell by pushing your hips back and keeping the bar close to your legs. 4. Stop when the bar reaches mid-shin level and you feel a strong stretch in your hamstrings. 5. Drive your hips forward to return to starting position, squeezing your glutes at the top.
• Keep the barbell close to your body throughout the entire mid shin stiff legged barbell deadlift movement • Focus on pushing your hips back rather than just bending forward at the waist • Keep your shoulders pulled back and chest proud to protect your spine • Control the descent slowly - don't just drop the weight down
• Rounding your back instead of keeping a neutral spine during the mid shin stiff legged barbell deadlift • Bending your knees too much, which turns it into a regular deadlift instead • Going too low past mid-shin level when you don't have the flexibility yet
