How To Do A Barbell Deadlift Exercise Demonstration Video and Guide
The barbell deadlift is another one of the big 3 bang for your buck exercises.
It’s a total body exercise that primarily targets your hamstrings and glutes, but also hits your back, shoulders, and core.
To get started:
- With a hip width stance, walk up to the bar so it touches your shins.
- Push your hips back, bend your knees, and grab the bar with an overhand grip, just outside your legs.
- While maintaining a flat back with your chest up, push your feet through the ground, lift the bar, and keep it close to your body throughout the movement.
- Straighten your legs and move your hips forward at the top of the lift to fully contract your glutes and hamstrings.
- Reverse the movement to lower the bar back to the floor and repeat.
