Deadlift is the king of all exercises as it engages almost all the muscles in your body. It can help you put on massive mass or help you lose all the extra calories without the cardio you hate so much. It also helps in better protein synthesis. So, bigger gains or better shredding, whatever it may be, this is one of the best exercises ever.
Three of its forms are the most famous; the conventional deadlift, stiff-leg deadlift and the Romanian deadlift. The most commonly done deadlift in the one done for strengthening the lower back (or erector spinae). It is the best for a little isolation but in my honest opinion, it is only for mainstream bodybuilders.
No matter what form of deadlift you do, it is essential to maintain the neutral alignment in your lower back and neck at all times. Wrong posture is pretty much the cause of all injuries due to this exercise. Do not EGO LIFT or jerk your weight off the floor. Trust me, it doesn’t have any reward. It only ends up damaging your lumbar spine causing slip discs, fractures and what not.
That being said, it is one of the most rewarding exercises ever. Powerlifters, bodybuilders, athletes, sportsmen, all swear by it, and agree that it is the staple of fitness and in rare cases, the’ backbone’ (punny much?). Even I agree with them, it is non-negotiable exercise, that cannot and should not be skipped in your workout. There are several ways to incorporate it into your workout. Speak to your trainer on how to do the same.
