The deadlift is a full-body strength exercise. It works your legs, glutes and lower and upper back muscles. To perform a deadlift, place a loaded barbell or hex bar on the floor in front of you. Squat down, grab the handles and pull the weight off the floor, finishing in a standing position with the weight at thigh level.
The archaic dead weight lift, or dead weight lift with lifting bar involved a T-bar with weight loaded on it while the lifter stood on sturdy chairs or other such platforms.
