Deadlifts maintain their position as the top strength exercise, because they develop both leg power and back muscle strength. The muscles in this group primarily function to stimulate the hamstrings, glutes and lower back muscles, which play essential roles in maintaining proper posture and enabling safe lifting of heavy objects and protecting against back injuries.
Women who deadlift will develop their complete strength while their bones become denser, and their legs and buttocks will achieve their desired shape. Research indicates women can execute deadlifts with proper technique to build their strength and endurance, when they use suitable weights and maintain correct lifting methods. Whether done with dumbbells, kettlebells, or a barbell, deadlifts teach the body how to lift from the hips, which is safer and more powerful than bending the back.
