Single Leg Stiff Deadlift Demo - Personal Training Melbourne - TK Bands

http://www.intafitness.com.au . Mr. Inta-Fitness demos a single leg stiff deadlift. This is 40 kg in total including the bar.

This is a glute/hamstring exercise primarily but the lower back, core, calfs, ankle and foot feel the pain too :-) This was the last exercise for the day so I'm a bit tired (that's my excuse). This is very tough but if you can master it - you need not waste your time with pathetic leg curls for hamstrings which are not functional and engage few other muscles. The trick with this one is to keep a slight bend in the planted knee and drop the hips back slightly as you lower yourself to the ground keeping the back straight & not rounding the shoulders - also try to keep your weight on the heel of the planted foot and not on the ball/toes.
