Preparation

This Conventional Deadlift exercise targets multiple areas which include hamstrings, calves, glutes, core, latissimus dorsi and erector spinae muscles. Approach the bar in such a way that it is centred over your feet. Keep your feet hip-width apart. Bend at the hip to grip the bar at shoulder-width allowing your shoulder blades to protract. Set your feet and grip properly, take a deep breath. Lower your hips and flex the knees until your shins contact the bar. Look forward with your head, keep your chest up and your back arched.

Method

Slowly, begin driving through the heels to move the weight upward

Step 3

Pull your shoulder blades together as you drive your hips forward into the bar

Step 4

Step 5

Return to the starting position and repeat.
