Coach's Tips

This asymmetric lower body deadlift helps you engage your hamstrings and glutes more.

1. Grab the Smith bar at mid-thigh height.

2. Position one foot in front and the other foot behind to take a staggered stance.

3. Shift more of your weight onto the front foot.

1. Push your hips back and lean your upper body forward to let the bar slide down your thighs.

2. Lower yourself until you feel a stretch in your hamstrings, then rise by squeezing your glutes.

3. After the designated number of repetitions, switch your front and back legs and repeat.

Inhale when bending your upper body and exhale when standing up.

1. Please maintain spinal neutrality to prevent the waist from rounding.

2. Keep the knees slightly bent and fixed, without bending them too much.

3. Focus on the stretching and contraction sensations of the hips and hamstrings rather than the weight.
