Benefits of Deadlifting:
- It is a functional movement (I.e. you do this movement throughout the day without evening knowing- example picking something up off the floor)
- It works many different muscle groups: flutes, hamstrings, upper and lower back muscles, grip strength. and especially core strength.
- Helps improve posture when done correctly.
- Helps decrease imbalances in the body by incorporating muscle groups on both the front and back side of the body.
- Time saver in the gym- working more muscle groups at one time.
- Increases testosterone production which aids in increase in muscle mass and fat burning capacity. More muscle=more calories your body burns in a day.
- Calorie burn!! Compound exercises are taxing your body and require a lot of energy.
