Straight Leg Barbell Deadlift

Place the barbell on the floor in front of you. Take the bar with a pronated grip (palms facing down slightly less than shoulder width apart). Hint: use straps to avoid hurting your wrists if the weight is above average. Feet shoulder width apart or narrower. Bend your knees slightly. The back is bent at the waist, the pelvis is pushed back. This will be your starting position. Without bending your knees anymore, lower the bar down as you inhale. Make sure your arms remain straight and your back arched at the waist. Tip: control the movement of the bar, it should be smooth and slow. As you exhale, straighten your torso, returning to the starting position. Keep your back arched at the waist during the entire exercise. Complete the required number of repetitions. Warning: Do not perform this exercise if you have lower back problems. Make sure that your back is constantly arched at the waist. Otherwise, there is a risk of injury. Avoid jerking or sudden movements. Variations: You can also do this exercise using dumbbells.
