Instructions
Preparation
- Position feet under bar with very wide stance. Squat down
and grasp bar between legs with shoulder width or slightly narrower
mixed grip.
Execution
- Lift bar by extending hips and knees to full extension. Pull
shoulders back at top of lift if rounded. Return and repeat.
Comments
- Target muscle is exercised isometrically. Throughout lift
keep hips low, shoulders high, arms and back straight. Knees
should point same direction as feet throughout movement. Keep
bar close to body to improve mechanical leverage. See Deadlift
and Deadlift
Strength Standards. Also see Kettlebell
Sumo Deadlift.
