Barbell Wide Stance Stiff Leg Deadlift

A compound lower-body hinge exercise performed with a barbell using a wide stance and nearly straight legs throughout the movement. The lifter bends at the hips while keeping a neutral spine, lowering the barbell down the front of the legs until a deep hamstring stretch is felt. The movement is then reversed by driving the hips forward to return to a fully upright position, emphasizing controlled tension through the posterior chain during both the lowering and lifting phases.
