deadlifts
Floor-to-hip pulls
Deadlifts are a weightlifting exercise where you lift a loaded barbell from the floor to hip level, then lower it back down.
The name reflects that you're lifting "dead" weight—no momentum from a prior movement.
Deadlifts work the back, glutes, and legs, making them a staple of strength training: I do deadlifts twice a week.
The singular deadlift names the exercise or a single repetition.
