Deadlift
The deadlift is a strength training exercise in which a weight-loaded barbell is lifted off the ground to the level of the hips, with the torso perpendicular to the floor, before being placed back on the ground. It is one of the three powerlifting movements along with the squat and bench press,[1] as well as a quintessential lift in strongman. The all-time world record deadlift stands at 501 kg (1,105 lb), achieved by Iceland's Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson.[2]
Deadlift phases
Phase 1
Phase 2
Phase 3
Two styles of deadlift are commonly used in competition settings: the conventional deadlift and the sumo deadlift.[3] While both of these styles are permitted under the rules of powerlifting, only the conventional stance is permitted in strongman.[4]
