Barbell Deadlift

Description

With feet flat beneath bar, squat down and grasp bar with a shoulder width or slightly wider over hand or mixed grip. Lift bar by extending hips and knees to full extension. Pull shoulders back at top of lift if rounded. Return and repeat.

Target muscle is exercised isometrically.ย Throughout lift keep hips low, shoulders high, arms and back straight. Knees should point same direction as feet throughout movement.ย Keep bar close to body to improve mechanical leverage.
