Preparation
This Conventional Deadlift exercise targets multiple areas which include hamstrings, calves, glutes, core, latissimus dorsi and erector spinae muscles. Approach the bar in such a way that it is centred over your feet. Keep your feet hip-width apart. Bend at the hip to grip the bar at shoulder-width allowing your shoulder blades to protract. Set your feet and grip properly, take a deep breath. Lower your hips and flex the knees until your shins contact the bar. Look forward with your head, keep your chest up and your back arched.
