Instructions:

Step 1: Stand in front of the barbell with slightly bent knees. Bend your hips and grip the barbell with a pronated grip.

Step 2: With a straight back, lift the barbell using your legs and hips. Ensure that you are looking in the forward direction throughout the entire duration of the exercise.

Step 3: Hold for a moment and return to the initial position.

Perform the exercise for the recommended number of times.

Important tip: Instead of a pronated grip, you could try a mixed grip for better control and improved stability. People with lower back problems should exercise caution while performing deadlifts.
