The biggest hole in the coverage matrix - the hinge had zero entries in any modality. Deadlift and Romanian Deadlift are the library's first standing (camera.zoom) and first barbell motions. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01HJDQQDA9QdP8zByg43H5v3

# Deadlift
|
||
|
||
The barbell hip hinge — brace hard, then stand up with the bar by driving
|
||
the hips through.
|
||
|
||
- **Category:** Main circuit
|
||
- **Type:** Free-weight compound hinge
|
||
- **Targets:** Glutes, hamstrings, spinal erectors, grip
|
||
- **Prescription:** 4 × 6–8
|
||
|
||
## Setup
|
||
|
||
Stand with the bar over mid-foot, feet hip-width. Hinge down with a flat
|
||
back and grip the bar just outside your legs. Shoulders slightly ahead of
|
||
the bar, hips higher than knees, chest up.
|
||
|
||
## Execution
|
||
|
||
1. Take the slack out of the bar, brace your trunk, then push the floor
|
||
away — hips and shoulders rise together.
|
||
2. Once the bar passes the knees, drive the hips forward to stand tall.
|
||
3. Lower under control by hinging at the hips first, then bending the
|
||
knees once the bar clears them.
|
||
|
||
## Cues
|
||
|
||
- Flat back from setup to lockout — the spine never rounds or overarches.
|
||
- Keep the bar dragging close to the legs the whole way.
|
||
- Finish with glutes, not by leaning back.
|
||
|
||
## Common Mistakes
|
||
|
||
- Squatting the weight up — hips too low, knees pushed forward.
|
||
- Rounding the lower back off the floor.
|
||
- Jerking the bar off the ground instead of pushing through the legs.
|
||
|
||
## Progression
|
||
|
||
Add weight in small jumps while all reps stay flat-backed; start from
|
||
blocks or a rack if floor mobility isn't there yet.
