If I had to pick just one lift to build strength, add muscle, and develop real athleticism, it would have to be the deadlift. As you can see there are many variations that will emphasize different muscle groups. Heavy sets of 1-5 to build raw strength. Fast and lighter sets of 3-6 to build speed and power. Slow and controlled sets of 8-12 to pack on slabs of muscle. Once you master the techniques, the possibilities become endless!
