From dead + lift.

A weight training exercise where one lifts a loaded barbell off the ground from a stabilized bent-over position.
2008, Lou Schuler, "Foreward", in Nate Green, Built for Show, page xii I never did a squat or a deadlift—the exercises I now know are best for building a bigger, stronger, more athletic-looking body—because I had access to leg-extension, leg-curl, and leg-press machines.
- Any lift performed without help or leverage.
- (broadly, figuratively) An effort made under discouraging conditions.
