Barbell Clean Deadlift

Stand with your feet about hip-width apart and the barbell close to your shins. Grip the bar with a shoulder-width overhand or hook grip, keeping your chest up and back flat. Drive through your legs to lift the bar from the floor while keeping it close to your body, ensuring your hips and chest rise together. Extend fully at the hips and knees at the top, then lower the bar back to the ground under control. Focus on proper positioning and smooth bar path to build strength and technique for Olympic lifts.
