By taking a wide stance, this deadlift style recruits more of the adductors and inner thighs. It is great for hamstring strength, glute activation, and hinge precision.
Instructions
- Load a barbell and stand with feet wider than shoulder width.
- Hinge at the hips to grip the bar with a flat back and soft knees.
- Drive your hips forward to stand tall, keeping your back neutral.
- Lower the bar under control, stopping just below the knees or at mid-shin.
- Repeat for the desired number of reps.
