The Deadlift

11

The deadlift, being no more than the safe and sound approach by which any object should be lifted from the ground, keeps company with standing, running, jumping, and throwing for functionality but imparts quick and prominent athletic advantage like no other exercise. It is unrivaled in its simplicity and impact while unique in its capacity for increasing head-to-toe strength.

The Bench Press

4

Powerlifting is the sport of three lifts: the bench press, squat, and deadlift. It is a superb start for a lifting program and can be followed later by the more dynamic clean and jerk and snatch. The neuroendocrine response to major lifts like the bench press is so potent that it will increase your strength for other exercises as well. In other words, the general strength gained through improving your bench press will carry over to dips, pull-ups, and many other movements.

The Clean

The clean is a pure bit of functionality. The clean is simply pulling a load from the ground to the shoulders, where frequently the object is being readied for lifting overhead. With the clean, we take ourselves from standing over an object and pulling it to moving under it and supporting it.
