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.
The stiff-leg deadlift targets the hamstrings and buttocks muscles. Although often done with a barbell, using dumbbells for the stiff-leg deadlift exercise offers some advantages. When first learning the stiff-leg deadlift exercise, start with light dumbbells while you perfect the technique.
