Deadlift

Powerlifting is a sport in which athletes compete to lift the maximum sum weight of the three heavy weight events, squat, bench press and deadlift.

The deadlift is a compound movement that trains the gluteus maximus, hamstrings, and other muscles in the posterior chain such as the erector spinae.
