The deadlifts exercise builds total body strength and power by working your entire posterior chain. It's one of the best moves for real-world strength and muscle mass.
1. Stand with feet hip-width apart, barbell over mid-foot. Bend at hips and knees to grip the bar with hands just outside your legs. 2. Keep your chest up and back straight. Pull your shoulders back and down. The deadlifts setup is half the battle. 3. Drive through your heels and stand up by extending your hips and knees together. Keep the bar close to your body. 4. At the top, stand tall with shoulders back. Don't lean back or shrug your shoulders. 5. Lower the bar by pushing your hips back first, then bending your knees. Control the weight down for proper deadlifts form.
• Keep the bar close to your body throughout the entire deadlifts movement. It should almost scrape your legs. • Start each rep from a dead stop on the floor. Don't bounce the weight. • Keep your head in a neutral position. Don't crane your neck up. • Breathe in at the bottom, hold it during the lift, then exhale at the top.
• Rounding your back during deadlifts puts you at risk for injury. Keep your chest up and spine neutral. • Bar drifting away from your body makes the lift harder and less safe. Keep it close. • Hyperextending at the top by leaning back too far. Just stand tall and squeeze your glutes.
