Deadlifts

Description

Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, bend down and grasp the barbell with an overhand or mixed grip. Keeping your back flat and chest up, stand up with the weight by driving through your heels and extending your hips and knees. The deadlift is the ultimate total-body exercise and builds overall back thickness and density like nothing else. Arnold includes deadlifts as essential for building the lower back and overall body power that supports all other exercises.
