How to: Band straight leg deadlift
- Stand with your feet hip-width apart, holding the band securely.
- Hinge at your hips and slightly bend your knees while lowering your torso to the ground.
- Keep your back flat and head in a neutral position.
- Engage your hamstrings and glutes to return to the starting position.
Common Mistakes
- Allowing the back to round during the movement.
- Using too much weight or resistance leading to poor form.

- Engage your core to maintain stability throughout the exercise.
