10 Benefits of Deadlifts You Probably Never Knew: 1. Increased Fat Burning Lifting weights and resistance training will burn more fat than just dieting or dieting with cardio exercise alone. 2. Better Posture Deadlifting increases your core strength and adds to core stability, 3. More Muscles Worked The Deadlift works more muscles than any other exercise, including the squat. 4. Increased Real Life Lift When you do other lifting exercises, like a bench press, for example, you’re not doing anything you might really do in real life. When are you ever going to have the need to lay on your back and push something in the air — unless you’re giving your two-year-old “flying lessons.” The Deadlift develops the muscles you need to actually carry something, like a bucket of water, those heavy grocery bags or your neighbor’s dining room table. 5. It’s Safe Your fingers are literally the only things connecting you to the weight of the bar. Your forearms have to work incredibly hard as you progress in weight to keep the bar from falling out of your hands. Subsequently your grip strength grows by leaps and bounds.” 7. Increases Hormones by doing at least 8 to 10 repetitions of Deadlifts with significant weight, you can increase the amount of testosterone and growth hormone produced by your body. Testosterone increases muscle growth and improves muscle repair while growth hormone, which is produced by your pituitary gland, promotes tissue healing, bone strength, muscle growth and fat loss. 8. Cheap and Easy A lot of exercises require a lot of equipment, special shoes or whatever. Not the Deadlift. Just a bar with some weight. Pick it up. Simple. You can usually find freeweights and a bar at a thrift store – or being given away by a friend – making it even cheaper. 9. Increased Cardio Believe it or not, doing 10 repetitions of Deadlifts will increase your cardiovascular ability. You might want to make sure you have somewhere to sit down when you’re done! THE BEST ONE THE BEST ONE THE BEST ONE NO WONDER I RARELY EVER GET INJURED....... 10. Prevents Injury The Deadlift can help prevent injuries by increasing the strength of your muscles around critical tendons and ligaments. Supporting joints with strong muscles is crucial to preventing injury, especially in the hamstrings and lower back, according to Outlaw Fitness.
