Barbell Deadlift
Description
The client flexes at the hip and knee while keeping the back and arms straight. The client grips the barbell. In an upward motion, while driving through the heels, the client extends the hips forward until a standing position is achieved. The client reverses the sequence and lowers the barbell to the floor and repeats for desired number of repetitions. Lift the weight by driving the hips forward and avoid pulling with the lower back.
Analysis
The barbell deadlift is a closed kinetic chain exercise due to the feet and barbell both being in contact (fixed) with the floor at the starting position. This exercise is divided into two phases: the lifting phase and the lowering phase.

Joints
The wrist is in flexion through the lifting phase and the lowering phase of the exercise.
The elbow remains in extension through the lifting phase and the lowering phase of the exercise.
The hip is in extension during the lifting phase and in flexion during the lowering phase of the exercise.
The knee is in extension during the lifting phase and in flexion during the lowering phase of the exercise.
