About the exercise

Deadlifts are essential to any fitness program. Especially to a home workout program as this exercise works out hamstrings, which are difficult to exercise at home due to limited number of exercises. It is important to avoid heavy weights and focus on your technique to prevent injuries to your low back. This and many other exercises are part of our free workout routine.
