Barbell Deadlift

The Barbell Deadlift, or simply the deadlift, is the king of the 3 powerlifts. The trainee grips a barbell and with a neutral back, hinges their hips and lifts the Barbell off the ground until they reach a standing position. It is important to not round your back or allow your hips to rise too fast. This exercise trains the erector spinae, hamstrings, glutes, quads and trap muscles.
