Deadlift into Shoulder Press
It is helpful to practice deadlifts free from weights at first in order to get the hang of them. In order to perform a deadlift, stand apart a foot width apart from the wall with it behind you. With your feet shoulder width apart, bend your knees slightly and keep your butt back with your weight in your heels, “gluing” your feet to the floor until you feel your butt touch the wall.
Then, perform these motions while holding the weight before returning to a standing position and completing a shoulder press. If you are looking for a more intense version of this exercise, you can either use lighter weights for the deadlift portion and heavier weights for the shoulder press movement. If you’d like, you can also split up this exercise and perform the deadlifts with heavy weights and the shoulder presses with the lighter ones.
