Load the apparatus. Center yourself between the handles. Your feet should be about hip-width apart. Bend at the hips to grip the handles, (using wrist straps if you need to). This is your starting position. Raise the handles 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 between the handles. 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.
