The deadlift

Functional, essential, and effective. The one aspect of fitness that keeps the elderly independent, packs muscle on skinny teens and keeps bones healthy, is strength. Strength is built with heavy weight lifted through a complete range of motion. The exercise most people can lift the most weight, the deadlift.
