Deadlifting Benefits you may have not known about;

1. It increases the rate at which you burn fat, they did an experiment where 3 groupings of overweight subjects were asked to diet only, diet plus aerobics, and diet plus aerobics plus weights. The third group that included deadlifting weight lost 44% and 35% more than diet and aerobic exercise groups.

2. Better Posture, this makes sense if you think about it with the idea of keeping your back straight while you do the lift.

3. The deadlift if done properly works more muscles than any other weight lifting exercise, including squatting.

4. It increases your ability to lift things in everyday life, by also teaching you the correct way to lift things without hurting yourself.

5. It improves your grip strength since your fingers are the only thing that is holding on to this heavy bar, just your fingers against gravity.

6. It increases the amount of testosterone and growth hormone that your body produces.

7. Prevents Injury by increasing the strength around muscles and tendons that easily get hurt such as your lower back, which can be a huge point of pain as you get older.
