The deadlift is one of the most functional movements there is. At some point, everyone is going to have to pick up some thing heavy off the floor. It is also one of the best movements for developing a strong "core". Nothing trains integration of spine and pelvis ie midline stability ie. "core". How many times have you heard people say they hurt their back doing yard work, moving or just picking up their child.Or maybe it has happened to you. A weak back and midline will only hinder your movement and your ability to do the things you love to do. Everyone from elite level athletes to grand ma need to deadlift on a regular basis. So we are going to deadlift today.

Thanks, Amy! It's nice to finally get it. But boy is that heavy! You'll be there so soon-just have to catch it on the right day.
