1. Stand with feet hip-width apart, holding a barbell with an overhand grip in front of your thighs 2. Keep your legs straight or slightly bent as you hinge at the hips and lower the barbell toward the floor 3. Push your hips back and keep your chest up as you feel a stretch in your hamstrings during the straight leg deadlift 4. Lower until you feel a good stretch in your hamstrings, usually mid-shin level 5. Drive your hips forward to return to standing, squeezing your glutes at the top of the straight leg deadlift
• Keep the barbell close to your legs throughout the entire straight leg deadlift movement • Focus on hip hinge movement rather than knee bending • Maintain a neutral spine with your shoulders back and chest proud during the straight leg deadlift • Feel the stretch in your hamstrings, not your lower back
• Rounding your back instead of keeping it straight during the straight leg deadlift • Bending your knees too much, turning it into a regular deadlift • Letting the bar drift away from your body during the straight leg deadlift movement
