How to perform a deadlift
Posted September 7th, 2007 in Weight Training | No Comments »
The deadlift is called the king of all exercises, and with good reason too. There is no other exercise that will put more stress on your central nerve system, and therefore will make you stronger.
It is also an extremely compound exercise and will work on the entire posterior chain as well as the back. The deadlift should be part of everyone’s program, from fitnesser, to powerlifter to bodybuilder.

There is loads to say about diet pills. Sadly, usually they aren’t good for a healthy weight loss.. even worse: most of the diet pills are very bad for your body.

I will write a post about the why of squats later. But first let’s concentrate on the technique.
