Stiff-Leg Deadlifts
While the quad muscle is the biggest one in the leg, don’t forget to work the hamstrings. In order to
have a properly balanced legs (not only physiologically, but also appearance-wise), you need to work
your hamstrings just as much as the other muscles in your legs. This exercise is great for the glutes as
well. The main thing to focus on while doing these is keeping legs fairly straight with a slight bend and
keeping your butt out. Performing stiff-leg deadlifts is very similar to the motion of touching your toes.
TIPS: Avoid straining your
back by keeping your back
at a slight angle.

Glute Bridges
This exercise can be done with no weight or with a barbell. Either way, lie on your back on the floor with
bent knees and flat feet. With hands to your sides, lift your hips as high as possible and squeeze the
glutes at the top for a few seconds. Return to starting position and repeat.
