Good Deadlift Form

By Malcolm Calcutt / February 1, 2014 / Comments Off on Good Deadlift Form

The deadlift, next to the squat, would arguably have to be the most primitive, effective, full body strength building exercise there is. It is a fundamental movement that many bodybuilders, powerlifters, and other athletes use in their programming to gain muscle mass, build strength, and improve their athletic performance.
