Instructions

  1. Stand up straight and grab a barbell with an overhand grip, with your arms shoulder-width apart, leaving your arms hanging in front of you. Bend at the waist and lean forward until your back is almost parallel to the floor. This is your starting position.
  2. Squeeze your shoulder blades and pull the bar up to your chest. Return to the starting position by slowly extending your arms towards the floor.

Tips

  • Keep the bar close to your body during the deadlift.
  • Avoid excessive use of your arms to lift weights.
  • Focus on pulling your elbows back and bringing your shoulder blades together as you pull.
