Barbell Deadlift

Description

Stand in front of the barbell with your feet about shoulder width apart and your feet pointed straight ahead (or slightly turned out). At this point your legs should be just a few inches away from the bar.
Bend over and grasp the bar, while keeping your eyes facing straight out in front of you (or even a little upwards). While keeping your arms fully extended towards the ground, stand up with the barbell. The bar will be traveling very close to your shins, so be careful not to scrape or hit them. While lifting the barbell, your hips and shoulder should rise simultaneously. Your spine should remain in a neutral position. At the top of the squat, you should be standing straight up. Warning: This exercise can be especially dangerous when done with poor form. If you are a novice, then only perform this exercise under proper supervision.
