"Stand facing a barbell or dumbbell with your feet hip-width apart for a basic deadlift," instructs McNulty."If using a barbell, ensure it's centered over your feet and close to your shins. Bend your hips and knees to lower, keeping your back straight as you get down low enough to grab your weights with your palms facing you. Make sure your core is tight as you push through your heels to lift the weight straight up.
To begin, lie flat on a bench facing upward with your feet planted on the floor. Grip the barbell with your hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart and your palms facing your feet. Unrack the barbell, and hover it straight above your chest with your arms extended. Slowly bend your elbows to lower the barbell toward your chest, keeping your wrists straight and your core tight. Once the barbell lightly touches your chest, push the bar back up to the starting position, and repeat.
