How to do Bodyweight Deadlift
- Stand tall with feet hip-width apart, arms hanging loose at your sides, and your core lightly braced.
- Push your hips back as if closing a car door with your butt, letting your knees bend just slightly.
- Hinge forward at the hips with a flat back and let your hands slide down the front of your thighs.
- Lower until you feel a strong stretch in your hamstrings and your torso is roughly parallel to the floor.
- Drive through your heels and squeeze your glutes hard to stand back up to a tall position.
- Lock out at the top by squeezing the glutes — do not lean back, just stand fully upright.
