"The deadlift is unrivaled in its simplicity and impact while unique in its capacity for increasing head to toe strength.  Regardless of whether your fitness goals are to "rev up" your metabolism, increase strength or lean body mass, decrease body fat, rehabilitate your back, improve athletic performance or maintain functional independence as a senior, the deadlift is a marked shortcut to that end."

Today's WOD will be learning the Deadlift.
