About Deadlift

The deadlift is a fundamental compound strength exercise that engages more muscle groups simultaneously than almost any other movement, including the hamstrings, glutes, lower back, traps, and core. A 155-pound person burns approximately 221.3 calories in 30 minutes during a deadlift session. The high muscle mass recruited makes it particularly effective for building overall body strength.

Deadlifts require careful attention to form including a neutral spine, braced core, and controlled hip hinge to prevent lower back injury. Working with a qualified coach when learning the movement is strongly recommended.
