Why Are Deadlifts So Important?

By Catherine Mendez @CathJMendez · On March 4, 2016

If one of your fitness goals is to gain more overall strength, then you should definitely add deadlifts into your routine. This is because it’s an exercise that requires the use of all your major muscle groups. Also, the strength you gain from deadlifts can help you in your everyday life. So it’s extremely important that you perform deadlifts with proper form. Below are a few other benefits you can gain from doing deadlifts.

Core strength: Deadlifts help to develop your core strength, which is derived by training the central muscles of your body. These core muscles are found in your upper and lower back, hips, buttocks, and abdominals—these muscles work together to help you perform deadlifts properly. Having a strong core will assist you in maintaining a healthy posture and preventing back problems.

Muscle mass: Your glutes, hamstrings, and spinal erectors are the primary muscles you need to perform a deadlift. Integrating these muscles allow you to lift heavier weights than many other types of exercises.

Functional strength: Deadlifts helps to develop the muscles and the movements that are involved in many forms of physical labor you do every day. They also help you develop a strong grip.
