Revisiting the King

Last year I wrote a blog post about the King of All Exercises, the deadlift. I want to revisit that post and the reasons why you should have the deadlift in your exercise program.

What are you training goals? Do you want to get lean and burn fat? Do you want to increase your strength? Tired of being winded after doing everyday activities? The one exercise that you should add to your training program that addresses all of these goals, and much more, is the deadlift.

The deadlift is a great compound exercise that is an amazing whole body workout. It targets the major muscle groups in the legs (glutes, quadriceps, and hamstrings) and also works your back, forearms, shoulders, and traps. Try implementing the deadlift into your training program and experience why it is the King of Exercises.

Benefits of deadlifting include:

1. Core stability
2. Functional strength
3. Gain muscle and burn fat
4. Increase overall strength
