How often should this exercise: isolate Straight leg deadlift (often referred to as a stiff leg deadlift) is really the thigh. Depending on the composition of your plan really determines how often to do this exercise. If you are looking to have to focus on your thighs, especially in a meeting, you can practice every time I love it.

When should this exercise: stiff leg deadlift is a good stretch for the hamstring muscles so it is best to do this as the last exercise for your thighs. This is a big step for the creation and definition of separation between the thigh and quadriceps muscles.

How to Exercise: The key to this exercise, the straightening of the back and not to be bending your knees. By keeping the back and knees straight, the focus is placed on the thigh and not on theback, as in a normal deadlift.

As a concentration solely on these thigh muscles, you will be much easier to use than a regular deadlift. So if you're dead lift 200 pounds with only 10 to 20% of the 200 ie £ 20 £ - £ 40

To begin, cut down, so you at a 90 degree angle, almost a reverse L-shape, over the bar. Take the dumbbell with a pronated (overhand) grip, about shoulder width apart. Make sure the legs and back are straight. This is essential if these elements are not correct, the focus should not be placed on the area, the bar keep close to the body, the hamstrings contract again to a straight stand bring. Hold for a count of two and lowering it again.

In general, the lower you get the more you will stretch the thigh, when the Bar to the toes are doing particularly well may lower. Also, you better on this exercise, you will find you go deeper, which is great because it gives you more flexible.

Mentality: Concentration is the key here, so make back and legs remain straight throughout the exercise. As already mentioned, a lower weight will be used in comparison to normal deadlift. Hamstrings are a muscle much smaller than the back and place the same kind of weight would result in serious injury. If you want a more advanced technology, have a firm, raised surface. Therefore, your mobility is oncrease (ROM), but please do not try this if you are new to this exercise.
