This is a great question, but the answer matters more on the body area, be it upper, lower, front, or back. For the video we are discussing today, the dead lift is the best exercise for building a strong posterior chain. There isn’t a better workout for the lower back than the dead lift. It strengthens the core, back, thighs, hips, and the obliques. It is often overlooked due to the lack of visible muscles it produces, yet the benefits are unmeasurable. I personally had lower back issues but have almost cured this in strengthening this vital area in my body. Enjoy, and new guys, do this exercise!
