In the jungle the lion is said to be the king, As a Personal trainer I believe there is a clear king exercise when in the gym.
It’s not the squat or the bench press; I personally think the deadlift is the king of all exercises. The Squat is an equally good exercise, but due to the majority not being able to perform it effectively, I believe the deadlift is number 1.
Why do i think this?
The deadlift uses to just about every muscle in the body; this means you can potentially finish your workout in less than 5 minutes.
Here’s an example of how I used the deadlift to have a super quick lower body workout the other day that was super effective, super quick and used every bit of my strength in just 5 minutes (After the equipment was set up).
- Deadlift 140kg x 19 reps
- Leg Press 250kg x 10reps
- Hamstring Curls 50kg x 15reps
- Walking Lunges 30kg x 20reps
