5 Best Strength Exercises To Improve Your Overall Body Strength

#4 Deadlift

The deadlift is one of the three powerlifting exercises that activates a host of muscles in the back and the lower body. Also, performing the exercise on a regular basis increases the grip strength and the overall core strength.

Instructions:

Step 1: Stand straight with your feet placed at a distance that is approximately equal to the width of the shoulders. With a straight back, bend forward and grip the barbell with an overhand grip (palms facing away from the shoulders), which is wider than the distance between the shoulders.

Step 2: Pull the barbell towards the hips while simultaneously making the body straight and perpendicular to the floor.

Step 3: Pause for a second and return to the starting position.

Repeat the exercise for the recommended number of times.

Important tip: People with lower back problems must exercise caution while performing this exercise. Beginners are advised to perform the deadlift with the help of a spotter.
