Of course, I probably don’t need to tell you any of that. Do you want to add muscle to your posterior chain, gaining quality mass from your traps all the way down to your hamstrings? You’d be hard-pressed to find a better exercise than the deadlift. Do you want to become more athletic while decreasing your injury risk on the field or the court? Deadlifts should probably be at the core of your training program.Īnd of course, do you want to get stronger? If so, there are few exercises that can build or test head-to-toe strength as well as the deadlift (I’d put squats on the same level, with push press close behind). Take your sumo deadlift or conventional deadlift to the next level with this definitive how to deadlift guide. The deadlift is one of the best exercises you can do to build muscle and strength.
