STRAIGHT LEGGED DEADLIFT

A.K.A. Stiff Legged Deadlift

Stand with both feet Shoulder width apart. Step on the band and hold it front of you as you grasp the bar. Hold the Barbell in front of you and place your hands about shoulder width apart from one another while holding the bar. Keeping your knees slightly bent ( not locking the legs) bend down as far as you can keeping the bar close to your legs as you descend. Be sure that your back is flat and not 'hunched' and your chest is pushed out. Do not keep your head up. Keep the head neutral throughout the movement. Stretch down as far as you can keeping perfect form without using your back or rolling the shoulders forward and come back up to the starting position. For more flexible people this exercise should be conducted on a box or elevated surface to maximize the lift.
