Mid Shin Stiff Legged Barbell Deadlift

Pro Tip

Make sure to maintain a flat back above all else throughout the entire movement.

How To

Place a barbell on the floor and position yourself over the center of it with your feet shoulder-width apart and shins about 1 inch away from the barbell.
Maintaining a straight back, bend down with your legs while leaning forward and position your hands on the barbell shoulder-width apart with an overhand grip and fully extended arms.
Exhale and push through your feet while extending your legs to begin lifting the barbell while maintaining a flat back until you stand upright to get into position to begin the movement.
Standing upright with your legs straight, lean forward while inhaling and maintaining a flat back.
Continue until the barbell reaches your mid shins.
Exhale and raise the barbell up by leaning back until your torso is in line with your lower body, returning to the starting position. Do not lean back further than this.
