Helpful reminder here by Rinaldo showing a graphical representation of why the deadlift is king of all exercise, please read what he has to say down below.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“Deadlifts blow every other exercise out of the water in terms of total body effectiveness, HANDS DOWN!!
–
For starters, deadlifts work more muscles simultaneously than any other movement (yes, including squats). The deadlift essentially forces the whole body to grow.
–
IT’S NOT JUST A LOWER BODY MOVEMENT!
–
Since dead’s recruit the most muscles to perform they help build the most muscle which in turn will help you burn the most body fat.
–
Deadlifts are also tops in terms of strengthening the core. When deadlifting you hit all the surrounding and supporting muscles of the waist, backside, hips and, of course, lower back. Want that sexy core? Deadlift more!
–
Another misconception is that deadlifts are a gateway to snapping your back in half. It’s actually the opposite, when performed correctly, deadlifts PREVENT injuries by strengthening the muscles around critical tendons and ligaments.
–
If you can’t deadlift for some reason or you are struggling with proper form, try doing a hex bar deadlift. It’s easier in terms of set up and you don’t have to go so low. A second option is putting plates under the plates on the bar shortening the distance you have to lift the weight. This will decrease the range of motion making it a bit easier to maintain proper form through the lift.” Great post by @knowgains
