Two forms of stiff-leg deadlifts

Building Glutes and Hamstrings  - Two forms of stiff-leg deadlifts
Today we will talk about two forms of still-leg deadlifts that are highly effective in building your glutes and hamstrings when done with proper form.

Conventional deadlifts are a total body movement, primarily working your back. The stiff-leg deadlift movement is at your hip joint, focusing all your strength in your hamstrings and glutes. You can incorporate one of these forms of stiff-leg deadlifts into your hamstring day, then switch the following week to the opposite exercise. Make sure you perform your workout with correct form to get the desired results and improve your physique.
