The most effective exercise you could do is the deadlift.
If you aren't doing deadlifts, you are wasting your time and efforts.
Deadlifts are one of the leading activities you can do during a workout that will help you gain weight and muscle.
That's right: one simple exercise could be the difference between failure and success.
Why? The deadlift exercise targets nearly every single muscle between your neck down to your calves.
Deadlifts is the most effective exercise at building mass but is also rather basic.
So basic, in fact, that it is something most people do on a daily basis: lifting something off the floor.
Unless you have a job that requires you to lie on your back pressing a weight above your head which is seen in a bench press, you are most likely not going to use that sort of workout in daily life.
Deadlift exercises are similar to you picking up something off the floor and are a large part of your daily life.
Knowing how to do deadlifts properly can also save you from throwing out your back like many people tend to do when lifting something improperly.
There is no denying that if any man wants to be a "mass monster", he will have to learn to do deadlifts properly.
What Deadlifts Do As mentioned before, the deadlift works a majority of the muscles in your body; however, it is more effective for the following: - Constructing giant traps - Building upper back muscle - Tightening and forming glutes - Forearms - Hamstrings - Spinal erectors.
A deadlifter will stand out with these massive muscles compared to a bodybuilder that has pecs and biceps.
The deadlifter is certainly more intimidating with colossal traps and rugged strapping muscles on the upper as well as lower back.
Proper Performing In order to perform the deadlift properly, you need to stand right over the bar and allow your shins to nearly touch it with your feet spread between eight and 14 inches apart.
Next, squat down...
breaking at your hips then push your glutes back up.
Your back should remain arched tightly and your chest should be up and your head lined up with your spine.
You should have your torso at an acute angle of 45 degrees to the ground.
The bar should be grabbed tightly before being pulled up and back.
When the bar is just above your knees, thrust your hips forward, lockout the weight by pulling back your shoulders.
Lowering the weight should be done by pushing back your glutes before squatting down.
When the bar is below your knees begin to squat but still keep your lower back in that arch tightly.
The weights should touch the floor before repeating.
Deadlifts are an amazing technique that will help you gain weight.
Of all the weight training there is, this is one of the most important to know.
