STIFF LEGGED DEADLIFTS

Stand with your feet only a few inches apart.  Lock your knees in place and bend at the hips, gripping the barbellwith a powerlifting grip (one pronated, one supinated).  Keeping theback straight, lift the weight up by contracting the hamstrings andstraightening the hips.  Lift the bar just slightly past the knees,then lower to the starting position, concentrating on getting a goodstretch in the Hams and Glutes.
