A loaded hinge in which a weight is lifted from a lower position to standing through hip and knee extension.
Why Deadlift matters
Deadlift variations can build posterior-chain and whole-body strength when selected and progressed appropriately.
A practical example
A conventional deadlift starts with a braced position and the bar close to the legs.
Common mistake
Pulling with a poorly controlled setup or treating one deadlift style as compulsory.
Keep the context in mind.
Training and nutrition terms describe general principles. The right exercise, intensity or food target still depends on your experience, health, goals and schedule.
Personalised coaching
Apply the principle to your own training.
A definition is useful, but your programme still needs to match your experience, schedule, recovery and goals.
