The deadlift is a weight training exercise in which a loaded barbell or bar is lifted off the ground to the level of the hips, torso perpendicular to the floor, before being placed back on the ground. It is one of the three powerlifting exercises, along with the squat and bench press,[1] as well as a frequent lift in strongman. It is also occasionally used in armlifting (sport of grip strength).
Deadlift phases
Phase 1
Phase 2
Phase 3
Two styles of deadlift are commonly used in competition settings: the conventional deadlift and the sumo deadlift.[2] While both of these styles are permitted under the rules of powerlifting, only the conventional stance is permitted in strongman.
