[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Deadlifts will tone arms, thighs, and butt at the same time.[/quote]

Deadlifts are great for the thighs and butt, but not particularly helpful for the arms. Sure your forearms will get some work because of holding on to the weight. Also the deadlift itself is probably one of the better lifts for burning calories overall but for specifically targeting the arms at least add push-ups. At the top of page 2 someone added decent list of exercises. I probably swap out a few things and add in more tricep extensions in some bicep curls but hey that's me.

Also remember when doing a deadlift think of your arms as meat hooks. You're pushing away from the floor initially as if you were doing a leg press and then as the bar passes your knees you push your hips through (like a lever) all that force will come from your hamstrings and glutes. Keep your head straight and don't run your back.  If you feel your back rounding just drop it.[/quote]

If you can’t feel triceps firing in a DL, you’re doing it wrong. You are correct that hands should act as hooks but that doesn’t mean you let the lats, traps and triceps go.[/quote]
