Benefits of Deadlifts - EMS Fitness Personal Training Studio, Norwich

It takes time to even get the posture right. Then it’s a whole-body exercise that can leave you feeling drained and overdone. However together with squats and bench presses, deadlifts form one of the big three essential exercises for great form and training in the gym.

Of course, deadlifts are the full ticket when it comes to boosting muscle and getting your strength and conditioning thing on in full force. However, this isn’t the only plus point for this awesome exercise and in this article, we explore some of the other big reasons why you need to be making deadlifts a staple of at least one session a week.

Improved Grip

Deadlifts are one of those exercises that can help you get a much stronger and tighter grip. As the hands are the primary muscle that’s always in contact with the bar, you’ll find that this exercise is the fast way to ratchet up the muscles in your hands. If you’re a climber then this is one of the best core exercises to help you in your hobby.

Increased Hormones

Hormones are generated in our body’s muscles and perform a number of vital functions in regulating our health and well-being. The production of human growth hormone is increased by deadlifts and other weight bearing exercises, which is a vital component in rebuilding our bodies over time and getting the sleep we need at night.

Resilient Back

We’re all guilty of taking our back for granted and it only takes one wrong move to pull a muscle or put a vertebrae out of joint. Getting good at deadlifts gives your body the technique and poise you need to lift properly, and it strengthens your back to give you the ability to contend with even the heaviest items. Remember that it only takes one injury to damage your back, which may never go back to normal.

Better Cardiovascular Health

Even though we often associate heavy lifting with bulking up and getting bigger, the strain it puts on our bodies actually helps power the performance of your heart and lungs. Deadlifts are a total body exercise that really puts your whole system through its paces and can actually reduce the risk of heart disease and other problems when coupled up with a healthy diet plan.

Crushes Fat

Yes, deadlifts are one of those exercises that can really help you burn through the calories quickly. The huge amount of energy you need to push your body through the repetitions are an excellent tool for adding to a calorie deficit and ensuring that your muscles start reaching into your bodily reserves of fat to get you past both your workout session and your day.

And Finally…

I go to the Saturday morning classes usually. The staff are friendly and encouraging and it's suitable for all experience levels, as you can tailor the exercise to your ability. There's a good range of exercises to keep you motivated, engaged and have a whole body workout. It's a great start to the day, highly recommend. :)

The EMS team are all fantastic. Their classes are both welcoming for people new to fitness and challenging for those with a bit more experience. I’ve always struggled to find a fitness routine that sticks but never find myself dreading my twice-weekly Hyrox session with EMS!

There's gyms and then there's EMS Fitness in Norwich. Bea and Javi have created a big family with all the members and I am only grateful I became a part of this. The sessions are great, you are pushed to your limits physically and at the same time you have a great time and feel so well mentally. A great atmosphere to work out in, motivating environment, state of the art equipment & training methods and new friends are some of the few things EMS Fitness offers. Highly recommend to anyone who seeks enjoyable and efficient workout sessions!

Started with Xavi in August 2023, being moderately overweight and unhealthy. Xavi soon got me to work, giving me a workout plan, diet plan and a heap of motivation to get into shape. Within 6 months, I had lost over 15kg, starting to slowly get into a better shape and feel better about myself. Would definitely recommend Xavi!
