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.
Muscles Overhead Presses Work. The upper-body push muscles missed by the deadlift are all hit by the overhead press, as long as you use a form that consciously hits the pectorals. When performing the overhead press, you have the choice to bring the bar down behind your neck or to the front, over the clavicles. Behind-the-neck presses work the deltoids and triceps, but miss the pectorals. But overhead presses to the front are the single-best upper-pectoral exercises, and they even utilize the lower pectorals to some degree.
