If you are a man or woman and want a great exercise that is both functional and fun, do a deadlift.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Why does the deadlift check so many boxes? For starters, it\u2019s hard to use moment or cheat, and an overly eager spotter can\u2019t give you support and \u201ctrick\u201d yourself into thinking you\u2019re improving. There\u2019s no getting around it: The deadlift requires you to move a weight, and doing so has benefits for your entire body.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When you perform a deadlift correctly, it recruits just about every muscle fiber in the body, from your feet to your torso, and from your arms to your grip.

But, if you want to see benefits \u2014\u00a0 much like any other exercise \u2014 you need to master the movement. The deadlift is <\/span>not<\/span><\/i> a dangerous exercise, but the key to its safety is making sure you set-up your body the correct way before you pull the weight.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
