Smith Machine Stiff Leg Deadlift

Instructions

1. Set the Smith Machine bar at mid-shin height and grip it just outside the hips.
2. Stand with feet hip-width apart, legs nearly straight with a soft knee bend.
3. Unrack and hinge at the hips, lowering the bar along the legs until a deep hamstring stretch is felt.
4. Drive hips forward to return to standing, squeezing the glutes at lockout.
5. Keep the back flat and the bar close to the body throughout.
