Barbell Deadlifts

Purpose of this exercise: TO WORK THE LOWER BACK

Deadlifts involve more muscles than any other exercise. The muscles worked include the upper back, the lower back, the buttocks, the trapezius muscles and the legs.

Technique

1.	Stand 2-4 inches away from the bar with your feet narrower than your hips
2.	Hold the bar with an overhand/underhand grip as circled to prevent hand slippage.
3.	Keep the back flat and tight by flexing the abdominals.
4.	Push with the legs first and drag the bar up along the front of the legs until standing erect.
5.	Slowly lower the weight to the floor.

CAUTIONS!!

•To avoid injury to the intervertebral disks, keep the back tight and straight.
•Keep your head up to distribute the stress and reduce the risk of injury.
•Never exercise without a competent spotter
