Deadlift the king of compound exercises
The King, that’s how people call Deadlift, the manliest exercise, which is better then squat in my opinion. There is not other exercise that provides as many benefits to the body as does deadlift.
That exercise sadly its avoided from people because is not a confortable movement to perform, it can be risky if you do it wrong, but if you learn a proper technique, you will feel the benefits. There are many different types of deadlift so you can progress towards a big lift. The most commercial gyms don’t even have an Olympic platform, which discourage people to do.
