The King of Weightlifting Exercises For The Upper Body

There are many weightlifting exercises that involve the upper body and can develop it to its true potential.

In this article I'm going to talk to you about one single exercise that will help you to achieve that powerful body quicker then you think. You will be suprised when i mention this exercise and wonder how it can possibily build any muscle.

Believe it or not this exercise is not the bench press, shoulder press or barbell curl. It dose not require any fancy equipment or gadgets, and you dont really need a spotter.

The only equipment you will need for one of the greatest weightlifting exercises of all time is a flat surface, a barbell and enough weight plates to lift heavy.

The Deadlift

These were one of the main leg exercises but for some reason you do not see many people doing them these days. Deadlifts are great for packing on slabs of new muscle and increasing strength rapidly. This is maninly because you are working large muscle groups with heavy weights.

The bad news is that deadlifts are without a doubt one of the most painful and discomforting exercises you will ever come across.

When performed properly, they'll leave you lightheaded, nauseous, gasping for air and will temporarily have you wishing that you hadn't come to the gym in the first place. But if it's serious results that you're after, this is the price you must pay.

How To Do Deadlifts

1. Start Position: Assume a shoulder width stance, knees inside arms and feet flat on floor.

2. Position shoulders slightly over bar and grab bar. Begin pull by extending the knees.

3. Keep angle of your back constant and lift bar straight up. Keep bar close to the body and keep shoulders directly over the bar.

4. Return to starting position.

The high intensity nature of this basic lift will also force your body to secrete higher amounts of powerful anabolic substances such as testosterone and growth hormone. This causes what is known as a “spill over effect”, and will result in new, total body size and strength gains.

In just a few short weeks of adding this weightlifting exercise to your routine you will notice that all your other lifts benefit and you increase strength in all areas of your body.

Practice this lift with light weight in order to get the form down before you start going heavy. You may also find it useful to use lifting straps when performing deadlifts, as this will prevent your grip from giving out before the rest of your body does.

You should be aiming to add deadlifts to your workouts at least once a week and aim to complete around 2 real heavy sets, aiming to complete around 8 reps of this weightlifting exercise.
