Also known as Thick Bar Deadlift
This exercise is nice and easy and does not involve any major complication. But as is recommended
always, know your limits before approaching this exercise. Any overloading may seriously injure your
muscles.
Step-by- Step
1. With the barbell on the ground, stand near it so that your body is in the center.
2. Ensure your feet have maximum a foot distance away.
3. Bend at the hip to grip the bar at shoulder width.
4. You can also bend your knees to reach the bar.
5. The only option is you can choose an over or under grip for grabbing the bar.
6. Take a deep breath, lower your hips, and bend the knees until your shins touch the bar.
7. Look forward, your chest up and your back arched, pull the weight upward.
8. Once the bar passes the knees, aggressively pull the bar back.
9. Wait for a second before lowering the bar by bending at the hips and guiding it to the floor.
10. Take a second break before repeating.
