Deadlifts may not be an exercise you do regularly (or ever), but adding them to your weekly workout routine can have some serious benefits. Deadlifts primarily work multiple muscle groups at once, allowing you to get stronger and fitter in less time. Keeping your back flat, grasp the bar with both hands, placing your hands slightly wider than your knees. Keeping your shoulders supported, rotate your elbows in slightly to engage your shoulder blades to use your back and shoulders to lift the weight.
1. Grasp the neck of the barbell with a neutral grip and position it so that it is exactly in line with the left hip. Stand tall with feet shoulder-width apart and knees slightly bent. Without interfering with the knee bend, lift the left leg off the floor.
3. As you do this, keeping your back naturally arched and hanging at your sides, lower your torso until it is almost parallel to the floor.
