Stiff Leg Dead Lift
Works: Hamstrings
How to do it: Stand straight with a bar in your hands. Your feet should be at shoulder width, your grip – a bit wider than your shoulders. Begin lowering the weight while keeping your spine straight at all times. Your legs should be almost locked in the knees. When you reach the low position start going back up while still maintaining your back straight and your legs stiff. You must use only the hamstrings and the lower back to bring the bar back up. Be careful not to overstretch on the way down, as this will put your lower back vertebras in a vulnerable position.
