Loading video…About
A barbell pull from the floor with a wide stance and the hands inside the knees. The torso is more upright than in a conventional deadlift, so the glutes, quadriceps and inner thighs work harder.
How to do it
- 1Take a wide stance with toes out and the bar over midfoot.
- 2Grip the bar inside your knees with straight arms.
- 3Push the knees out, drop the hips and flatten your back.
- 4Lift by pushing the floor away and keeping the bar close to your body.
- 5Lock out fully at the top, then lower the bar along the same path.
