Barbell Deadlift

by Kaira

Lifts a loaded bar from the floor with the hips — one of the strongest movements the body can make.

How to do it

  1. Stand with the middle of your feet under the bar, feet hip width, and grip the bar just outside the legs.
  2. Push the hips back, bring the shins to the bar, chest up and back flat.
  3. Push the floor away and stand tall, keeping the bar close to the legs.
  4. Lower it the same way — hips back first, the bar sliding down the thighs.
