They will benefit your posture, explosive hip and leg drives, and build great back and shoulder muscular structure that can translate into most athletic sports or games. So sit back and take a look at our training video below.

Recommendations when starting a dead lift workout

Start small: Start with half of the weight you think you should lift. This will allow you to make sure your form is correct, prevent injuries and allow your body to adjust to a new workout.
Have some help: Get a lifting partner. Lifting weights is not a solitary activity. Having a partner will benefit you both tremendously. You can hold each other accountable, the workouts go faster and deepen a friendship.
Use the right Equipment: Make sure the gym or Crossfit Box you attend has nice quality equipment. The right equipment is a necessity for proper lifting habits.
