What are deadlifts?
Deadlift is the name given to movement from when a barbel is lifted from a half squat position, into an upright position lifted to the hips, then lowered back down. It is a power lifting workout that works greatly on core and stamina.,
Deadlifts are the single, most effective movement for training the posterior chain(bum, inner, outer, mid thighs and inner thighs. (see insert).
They require minimum equipment. (just the bar and weights)
The gluteus and hamstrings (bum and thighs) are made of what we call the fast twitch fibres, these muscle fibres provide a lot of strength and speed within a short time.
Deadlifts works more muscles simultaneously! even more than squats!
