Deadlift ( Hamstrings ) video 2 1. Put a barbell in front of you on the ground and grab it using a pronated (palms facing down) grip that a little wider than shoulder width. 2. Bend the knees slightly and keep the shins vertical, hips back and back straight. This will be your starting position. 3. Keeping your back and arms completely straight at all times, use your hips to lift the bar as you exhale. Tip: The movement should not be fast but steady and under control. 4. Once you are standing completely straight up, lower the bar by pushing the hips back, only slightly bending the knees, unlike when squatting. Tip: Take a deep breath at the start of the movement and keep your chest up. Hold your breath as you lower and exhale as you complete the movement. 5. Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions. Caution: This is not an exercise that is recommended for people with lower back problems.
