Exercise Description

The deadlift builds total-body strength by working your biggest muscle groups at once. It makes you stronger for daily activities and builds serious muscle.

How To

1. Stand with feet hip-width apart, barbell over mid-foot, shins close to the bar 2. Bend at hips and knees, grip the bar with hands just outside your legs 3. Keep chest up, core tight, and drive through your heels to lift the deadlift weight 4. Stand tall by pushing hips forward, keeping the bar close to your body throughout the deadlift movement 5. Lower the bar by pushing hips back first, then bending knees when bar passes them

Form Tips

• Keep the bar close to your body throughout the entire deadlift - it should almost scrape your legs • Drive through your heels and squeeze your glutes at the top of each deadlift rep • Keep your core braced tight like someone's about to punch your stomach • Don't let your knees cave inward - push them out in line with your toes

Common Mistakes

• Letting the bar drift away from your body during the deadlift, which puts stress on your lower back • Rounding your back instead of keeping your chest up and shoulders back throughout the deadlift • Looking up or hyperextending your neck - keep your head in a neutral position
