Wide Stance Stiff Legs
A lower body exercise focusing on hamstrings and glutes with a wide stance.
Instructions
- Stand with feet wider than shoulder-width apart, toes pointing slightly outward.
- Hold a barbell or dumbbells with an overhand grip in front of your thighs.
- With a slight bend in your knees, hinge at the hips, lowering the weights while keeping your back straight.
- Lower until you feel a stretch in your hamstrings, then return to starting position.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Rounding the back instead of maintaining a neutral spine.
- Bending excessively at the knees, turning it into a squat.
- Not keeping the core engaged, leading to instability.
