The plate is placed on the floor. You stand behind it in a squatting position and grab the plate with your hands at about 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock. This is your starting position. Straighten the legs until you are in an L-shaped position, bending at the waist. Raise the plate by straightening your back until you are in a full upright position. Your chest should be pushed out and your shoulders should be pulled back. Exhale while doing this movement. Return to the starting position by reversing your previous movement until you are again squatting by the barbell. Inhale while doing this movement. Repeat for the required number of repetitions.
The muscles of the lower back straighten the spine. They work together with the abdominals to keep the spine upright. The Barbell Deadlift is considered to be the king of exercises. No other exercise will work your body so much.
