1. Deadlift:

Deadlifts are like the superstar of exercises. They work your entire back, lower back, hamstrings, and glutes. Plus, they make your grip stronger and even help your biceps and core. There are different ways to do deadlifts, focusing on different muscles. For example:

  • Stiff Leg Deadlifts: Work more on hamstrings.
  • Rack Pulls: Target your lower back.
  • Snatch Grip Deadlift: Focus on your laths (the muscles on your sides).
