The Deadlift Prescription
Jonathon Sullivan, MD, PhD, SSC discusses why and how the deadlift meets the requirements of the exercise prescription for healthy aging.
The exercises in The Barbell Prescription are chosen not just for their ability to train the most muscle over the longest range of motion to produce the most strength, but also for their ability to satisfy the exercise medicine criteria of safety, dosing range, completeness, specificity and effectiveness, simplicity, and efficiency. Sully explains how the deadlift meets these criteria beautifully, making it indispensible for a comprehensive Exercise Medicine Prescription for adults in their 50s, 60s, 70s, and beyond. The deadlift builds massive strength, promotes muscle gain and bone density, improves balance, and actively transforms the back from a force absorber to a force transmitter, with concomitant improvement in chronic back pain. If you can pick a kitten up off the floor, you can train the deadlift.
