One of the more popular exercises you can find in a gym? It's a terrific compound exercise that primarily works your pectoral muscles (chest), but it also strengthens your deltoids and triceps.

The deadlift is a weight training exercise in which a loaded barbell or bar is lifted off the ground to the level of the hips, and torso perpendicular to the floor, before being placed back on the ground
When performed correctly, this exercise works primarily for your glutes and lower back, but also your quadriceps and harm strings.
This exercise has some variations that allow you to change your agonist muscle so you can work on your quadriceps or harm strings more.

From a standing position, lower your hip and then stand back up. When descending, the hip and knee joints flex while the ankle joint dorsiflexes; when standing, the hip and knee joints extend while the ankle joint plantarflexes.
Another common exercise you must perform when beginning your fitness journey is one that helps you build your legs while also improving hip and knee mobility and functionality.
