Stiff-leg deadlift

A multi-joint exercise & concentric exercise, using a barbell with a pronated grip, with stiff legs (knees slightly bent, legs not fully extended).

Considered a hamstrings exercise, with the following muscle groups:

  • targeted: hamstrings and spinal erectors
  • secondary: glutes and quadriceps

Level: intermediate.

Not to be confused with deadlift or barbell good-morning.

It should be noted that, in a proper form, the workload should touch the floor, otherwise, the exercise is rather known as Romanian deadlift.

A.k.a.: barbell stiff-leg deadlift
