Deadlift
Lift a barbell from the ground to your hips using proper form.
The deadlift is a full-body compound exercise that strengthens the back, glutes, and hamstrings, making it a cornerstone of strength training.
How to do:
1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and the barbell over your mid-foot. 2. Bend at the hips and knees, gripping the barbell just outside your knees. 3. Keep your back straight and chest up as you lift the barbell by extending your hips and knees. 4. Stand upright with the barbell at hip height, shoulders back. 5. Lower the barbell back to the ground in a controlled motion. 6. Repeat for 6–10 reps per set, performing 3–4 sets total.Tips:
- Keep your core engaged and back neutral throughout the lift. - Avoid rounding your back to prevent injury. - Use a mixed grip or straps for heavier lifts if grip strength is a limiting factor. - Focus on controlled movement for optimal muscle activation.- Level
