I have mastered the art of squating and working comfortably at 120kg, so naturally I needed a new challenge.
Boyfriend suggested I join him on deadlifting, at first I was like yea ok why not, I don't consider myself strong so I was prepared to just lift the bar and be done.
But once I started I felt that competitive drive in me and I wanted to lift heavier!
I progressed from 20kg to 60kg each with strong reps and I left the gym feeling strong and badass!
Deadlifting works muscles from the chest right down to your calves so if you want to target a lot of muscles in one go then this is the left to go for.
If you haven't done it before, I would recommend having a trainer talk you through the movement to ensure that you are doing it properly and do not get injured.
You can also try straight legged deadlifts with dumbells, I do this exercise on leg day to target my hamstrings and really make them work!
