Weightlifting in its purest form is lifting something up and putting it back down. That is what deadlift is. There are many different kids of ways to do Dead lift but to do it properly and safely is another thing. The Deadlift will challenge and strengthen every bone, muscle, and joint in your body, as well as push your grip strength to the max. Deadlift is a fun and captivating exercise that many people love. Although with improper form it can be extremely dangerous.
Deadlift has many different forms in which you can perform the lift. There’s the Sumo and the conventional as well as the hex bar but in this page I will be focusing on teaching you about the conventional deadlift.
“Standing with your feet shoulder-width apart, grasp the bar with your hands just outside your legs,” says McKenzie. “Lift the bar by driving your hips forwards, keeping a flat back. Lower the bar under control – though once you get up to really heavy weights, it’s OK to drop it on your final rep.”

So keep a balanced shoulder width base with a flat back as you go to pick up the bar. you should be slightly bent over the bar in a squat like stance. Grip the bar firmly and explode up with the bar so that when you finish you’re standing straight up. When first starting out try to slow up on your rise as to get your body use to the lift. Doing this lift wrong often leads to back issues and muscle spasms. The Deadlift can be a helpful lift to increase your muscles in the waist, glutes, hips, and lower back.
