Barbell Deadlift

Barbell Lower Back

The Barbell Deadlift is a strength movement that targets your lower back. Here's how to do it with clean form.

How to do the Barbell Deadlift

  1. Stand with the bar over your mid-foot, hip-width stance, and hinge down to grip just outside your legs.
  2. Flatten your back, brace your core, and pull your shoulders back before the bar leaves the floor.
  3. Drive the floor away and keep the bar dragging up your shins.
  4. Lock out hips and knees together at the top — don't hyperextend.
