DeadLifts: The King of compound movements






Dead lifts are a probably the best compound movement you can do and yet for some reason many people do not do them. I am not sure if it's fear of hurting themselves or because it requires so much effort to do and they are too lazy to have the tough as fuck dedication needed to do them weekly or they just don't know how.

Dead lifts are a very scary thing when you do not know how to do them but they are worth the time to learn and master. Dead lifts will increase your strength in all areas of the gym because of the amount of muscles needed to do heavy dead lifts. HOWEVER proper form is 100% necessary due to the fact it can be dangerous without it. I highly recommend learning proper form with light weight and watch some instructional videos there are countless videos that show proper form.

Dedication is what you will need to master this taxing workout. not just the type of dedication it takes to go into the gym and curl for 30 minutes to get big biceps but the tough as fuck dedication needed to work every muscle in your body over and over and over again , your hand will hurt , your forearms will pulse , you lower back muscles will throb , your ass will feel tight and your hamstrings will be sore but it's worth it. This one movement will teach your body to work as one cohesive unit. Something curls won't give you.

I honestly believe that anyone who goes to the gym to gain strength or size and doesn't Dead lift is making their time almost useless. I am not saying that you can't get strength without them but the process is faster and more efficient. Plus having a heavy deadlift looks badass.
