 A dead lift is when i get called out in the middle of the night to go do a removal of a person who has passed away.  A deadlift....lol... Heck I dunno what it really means...but that is our code word when i get a call...hey we have a deadlift...OK be right there!...

Excuse my ignorance but what exactly is a deadlift?

It's when you lift dead people.  J/K bro!

It's when you bring a dumbbell from the floor to above your head.

I do deadlifts occasionally in my profession

For exercise, there are many variations.  Here's a link:

a deadlift is when you bend over and lift a barbell up to your waist, just standing up straight. nothing over your head
