Loop the resistance bands over the bar before you start, and step into them to set up. Ensure that they under the back half of your foot, directly where you are driving into the floor. Position a loaded barbell on the ground. Stand behind the barbell so that the bar intersects the middle of the feet. The feet should be set very wide, near the collars. Bend at the hips to grip the bar with the arms directly below the shoulders, inside the legs. Use a pronated grip or a mixed grip. This is the starting position. Lower your hips and bend the knees until your shins contact the bar. Look forward with your head, keep your chest up and your back arched. Inhale during this movement. 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.
