Which lift type involves a straight leg lift?

• A. Straight leg lift
• B. Deep Squat lift
• C. One leg stance lift
• D. Stoop lift

Answer: (A)

Lifts are distinguished by whether you bend at the hips or at the knees. A straight leg lift keeps the legs straight and uses a hip hinge to lift the load, meaning the movement comes mainly from the hips while the knees stay extended. This makes the technique clearly about lifting with straight legs.

In contrast, a deep squat lift involves bending the knees a lot and lowering into a squat; a stoop lift uses a hip bend with only a small knee bend and often a rounded back; a one-leg stance lift changes the balance to lifting while standing on one leg. Because it describes lifting with straight legs, the straight leg lift is the best fit.
