The deadlift is the oldest of all weight training exercises and is
one of the most effective exercises for overall body development.
Deadlifts are not pretty and neither are the men who hoisted them, but
this movement made their physiques the biggest, thickest, and strongest
in the world.
It is the purest single test of strength because it is one of the few
lifts where you lift a dead weight off the ground. In most other lifts
the weight changes direction or starts from the top position and you can
use reversal strength and momentum to rebound and assist in lifting the
weight, as in the squat and bench press.
In the blog post below, you are going to get a complete 7 week deadlift workout
program that will help increase your deadlift 1 rep max, allowing you
increase your overall body strength, and pack on slabs of thick dense muscle
mass to your frame.
