Off-season training for football: Stiff-legged deadlifts with dumbbells. Okay, this is the beginning of our third super set for this workup. We're going to take a pair of dumbbells because we're also going to help develop scapula stability while doing the deadlift. So [PH] Jonesey's going to take the two dumbbells. He's going to stand with his feet, hip width apart. He is going to start looking straight out at the horizon and then push his hip straight back keeping a stiff lower back and then push the hips forward [DEMONSTRATING]. Feel that your heels push down and into the ground and back. You're going to help develop strength through the glutes and the hamstrings that will help translate over for speed for you and also help condition your hamstrings to prevent injury. He's keeping his chest nice and big and wide open as he's working. We're going to do 10 reps of these before moving on to renegade rows.
