Barbell Behind The Back Deadlift

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and position the barbell behind your legs. Bend at the hips and knees to grip the bar, keep your back straight and core braced, then drive through your heels to lift the barbell upward. Stand tall at the top before lowering it back down in a controlled hip-hinge motion. This setup challenges balance and coordination while maintaining full-body tension. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
