If you have never tried deadlift exercises or are afraid to attempt them because you might get injured you should reconsider. Deadlift exercises should be a staple of your weight lifting workouts.
In order to avoid some of the fears of getting injured your best option is to start with light weight in the beginning and increase the load over time. You never want to start heavy, as this will surely cause injury. By strengthening the lower back area with this exercise you will be preventing future back problems.
Too often people working out will focus much of their attention on either the upper body or the lower body and of course the abs. However, doing deadlifts are very important as they strengthen the lower back area and are also excellent as a total body workout.
Another advantage in using this exercise is the fact that it stimulates muscle growth throughout the body, both the upper and lower. Multi joint workouts help trigger growth hormone and this in turn stimulates muscle growth. Single joint movements like leg extensions and bicep curls or triceps extensions do not offer this added benefit.
As you can see there are great benefits with performing deadlift exercises for lower back including: more muscle growth and the prevention of lower back injuries.
Next time you feel like skipping out on this workout think again. So go ahead and grab that barbell. Your body will thank you in the long run.
