Sandbag Stiff Legged Deadlift

Video coming soon...

The sandbag stiff-legged deadlift is a lower back exercise that primarily engages the erector spinae muscles.

The sandbag adds resistance to the movement, increasing the challenge for the lower back muscles.

Stand with your feet hip-width apart, toes pointing forward, and the sandbag placed in front of you.
Bend at your hips, keeping your back straight, and reach down to grab the sandbag with both hands.
Engage your core and glutes as you lift the sandbag by extending your hips and standing up straight.
Keep your legs straight, but not locked, as you lower the sandbag back down by bending at your hips.
Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions.

Start with a light sandbag to get comfortable with the movement and avoid straining your lower back.
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, toes pointing slightly outwards, and grip the sandbag with an overhand grip.
Keep your back straight and engage your core as you hinge at the hips, pushing your glutes back and lowering the sandbag towards the ground.
Focus on feeling the stretch in your hamstrings as you lower the sandbag, but make sure to maintain tension in your lower back.
Avoid rounding your back by keeping your chest lifted and shoulders pulled back throughout the movement.
As you lift the sandbag, drive through your heels, squeeze your glutes, and engage your lower back muscles to bring your body back to an upright position.
Remember to exhale as you lift the sandbag and inhale as you lower it, maintaining a steady breathing pattern throughout the exercise.
