Training your spine is a essential part of building and carving your back. Whether you are a seasoned workout veteran or devising your first training plan, the workouts below will help you meet your fitness goals.
band straight leg deadlift
1. Stand upright with your feet hip-width apart. Place the band under your feet and hold the ends in each hand. Ensure the band is taut but not stretched.
2. Keep your back straight, shoulders back, and chest up. This is your starting position.
3. Slowly bend at your hips, lowering your torso towards the floor while keeping your legs straight. Ensure your back remains straight and your head is in a neutral position. You should feel a stretch in your hamstrings and tension in the band.
4. Lower your torso until it's almost parallel to the floor, or until you feel a good stretch in your hamstrings. Ensure your back remains straight throughout the movement.
5. Pause for a moment at the bottom of the movement, then slowly reverse the motion by contracting your glutes and hamstrings to lift your torso back up to the starting position.
6. Keep the band taut and your back straight as you stand back up.
7. Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions.
Remember to keep your core engaged throughout the exercise to support your spine and prevent injury. The band straight leg deadlift primarily targets the muscles in your lower back, but it also works your glutes and hamstrings.
