Barbell Hook Grip Deadlift

Stand with feet about hip-width apart and a barbell over the mid-foot. Bend at the hips and knees to grip the bar with a hook grip (thumb wrapped under the fingers). Brace your core and lift the bar by extending through the hips and knees, keeping the bar close to your body and your back neutral. Stand tall at the top, then reverse the movement with control to return the bar to the floor.
