Hamstrings and glutes all pushed here.
Lots of people dread leg day when it comes to working out, but the fact is, there is no point in having a well sculpted upper half of your body if they are supported by a pair of chicken legs.
So, with that in mind, we want you to stop looking ridiculous and get those legs into shape.
Here’s how you go about doing a barbell deadlift.
- Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, making sure not to lock your knees.
- Hold a barbell loaded with the required weights, palms facing down, hands shoulder-width apart, making sure not to lock your elbows.
- Keeping your back straight, bend forward at the waist, bringing the barbell down near your ankles.
- Using your hamstrings and your buttocks (not your back), come back up to your starting position, with a slight thrusting motion.
- Repeat for desired amount of reps.
