Barbell Single Leg Deadlift

Start by pushing your hips straight back and extending your non-working leg behind you. It is ok to touch your other foot back to the ground each rep. Leave your knee mostly extended. Look for a stretch in your hamstring. When you feel the stretch, push your hips forward until you're back in a standing position.
