Purpose: This exercise builds overall strength in the lower body.

Benefits: This exercise involves many other muscles.

Set up the power rack with the bar on the pins. The pins should be set to just below the knees and in the mid thigh position. Position yourself against the bar in proper deadlift position. Your feet should be shoulder-width apart and under your hips, your grip shoulder-width, back arched, and hips back to engage the hamstrings. This is your starting position. Raise the barbell by pushing with your legs and rotating your glutes and hips forward and up. Continue lifting 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.
