Although some grading is required for most construction projects, the California Coastal Commission is concerned about unnecessary or excessive grading and its effects on the coastal environment. Various designs and construction techniques exist to lessen the extent and effects of grading.
The deadlift is a full-body strength exercise. It works your legs, glutes and lower and upper back muscles. To perform a deadlift, place a loaded barbell or hex bar on the floor in front of you. Squat down, grab the handles and pull the weight off the floor, finishing in a standing position with the weight at thigh level.
Your muscles build this same type of elastic energy and release it as you drive back to lockout. Deadlifts force you to overcome the load on the bar from dead stop. This type of strength where you go from zero potential to activating as many muscle as possible develops your starting strength. This is why it is so critical for you to create as much tension as possible before you even pull the weight.
