90/90 Hamstring vs Sumo Deadlift

Lie on your back, with one leg extended straight out.

With the other leg, bend the hip and knee to 90 degrees. You may brace your leg with your hands if necessary. This will be your starting position.

Extend your leg straight into the air, pausing briefly at the top. Return the leg to the starting position.

Repeat for 10-20 repetitions, and then switch to the other leg.

Begin with a bar loaded on the ground. Approach the bar so that the bar intersects the middle of the feet. The feet should be set very wide, near the collars. Bend at the hips to grip the bar. The arms should be directly below the shoulders, inside the legs, and you can use a pronated grip, a mixed grip, or hook grip. Relax the shoulders, which in effect lengthens your arms.

Take a breath, and then lower your hips, looking forward with your head with your chest up. Drive through the floor, spreading your feet apart, with your weight on the back half of your feet. Extend through the hips and knees.

As the bar passes through the knees, lean back and drive the hips into the bar, pulling your shoulder blades together.

Return the weight to the ground by bending at the hips and controlling the weight on the way down.
