Straight Leg Deadlifts - Jaime

From Blue Wave Martial Arts & Fitness with Jaime demonstrating some exercises for your hamstrings and glutes, called the straight leg dead lift. With a body bar, or other weight, start by positioning your hands just about shoulder wide and your feet just about shoulder wide as well and you'll bend forward at the waist. As you bend forward, go forward slowly with control, hanging the weight straight down, so your arms hang down from your shoulders. As you bend forward, it's important to remember to keep your back straight, actually a little bit concave forward so that your low back stays solidly in place. Keep that back straight, bend forward at the waist remembering to push your chest forward and your butt back and as you come up each time you want to flex your glutes, squeezing together, pushing your hips forward. Remember to keep your knees straight. Nice, slow, and controlled motion and as you move, remember to keep your mind on the muscles that you're trying to work.
