Deadlifts focus on the hamstrings, glutes, and lower back. These muscles are essential for lifting and posture.
Proper deadlift form requires strong core stabilization. Core muscles like abdominals and obliques support your spine and prevent injuries.
Deadlifts require grip strength because you're lifting large weights from the ground. Deadlifts develop grip strength, which helps with other exercises and daily life.
To stabilize and sustain the movement, deadlifts activate muscles across the body, not only the lower body and back. Shoulder, arm, and calves muscles help maintain lift form.
Deadlifts resemble pulling up something from the ground. Deadlifts build strength and function, making tasks like lifting groceries, moving furniture, and playing sports safer and easier.
