Proper form is crucial to avoid injury, so here&#8217;s how to do a conventional deadlift:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Stand with your feet hip-width apart and a barbell in front of you.<\/li>\n<li>Bend at your hips and knees, keeping your back straight and chest lifted, to grip the barbell with both hands (shoulder-width apart).<\/li>\n<li>Push through your heels and engage your glutes as you lift the barbell, keeping it close to your body.<\/li>\n<li>Stand tall with your shoulders back and chest up, then lower the barbell back to the ground with control.<\/li>\n<li>Start with lighter weights and focus on mastering the form before increasing the weight. Aim for 3 sets of 8-10 reps, taking adequate rest between sets.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>6.
