These are a bit different that typical deadlifts and they put less stress on your lower back and spine. And you'll feel these in your hamstrings tomorrow baby! They are helpful for cyclists as they work the forward bend at the hips while keeping a flat back (good cycling position!). For more info see this ARTICLE.
How to Do it:
You don't necessarily need a barbell for these, you can do them with dumbbells, just be sure to keep your position correct. The bar does help as you can touch it to your legs.
The Challenge:
Do a quick warm up, making sure to loosen up your hips and legs and shoulders. Try some jumping jacks and some wide-legged forward folds
Do a warm-up set of about 10 of these with a lighter weight. Try 10 lb dumbells or a 20 lb barbell
Move up to a heavier weight for the challenge.
Aim for 3 sets of 20-25.
Challenge met!
