A few weeks ago I was reading about some gym exercises and came across Deadlifts. I have never done Deadlifts in my life but decided to start due to the benefits one can gain from adding Deadlifts into their training. It's an ideal exercise for fat burning as well as strength building as it causes your body to create more Testosterone and Growth Hormone.

I started with a 34kg Barbell and did just 10 reps twice a week for the last 2 weeks. Today is my 3rd week and I have found that my strength has increased. I usually max out my incline dumbbell flyes with 27kg dumbbells but today I maxed out with the 32kg dumbbells. I also increased my Deadlift reps to 12 instead of 10. I found all my other exercises less harder to do and got more reps at heavier weights than I usually do.

The first time I did 10 reps of Deadlifts I was totally out of breath yet I never use a heavy barbell. It is important to make sure you have good form when performing a deadlift so read up and watch videos of how to do Deadlifts properly before attempting them.

I hope everyone is having a good week :) Just wanted to share an exercise that can assist in weight loss :)
