If you ask anyone what the king of all kings exercises are for the biggest bang for your buck, chances are you'll get one of two answers: squats or deadlifts.
- 
Both movements are two of the most effective compound lifts there are as they involve a serious amount of muscles while also being quite strenuous, meaning they lead to a strong hormonal output that puts your body in an anabolic environment which also leads to some serious fat loss (more muscle means more calories being burned means more fat oxidation at rest).
- 
Now, aside from the obvious muscle building and fat losing benefits of the exercises, both are incredible for overall quality of life as they make daily tasks like bending down to pick something up, sitting up and down from a chair, getting in and out of a car, etc. so much easier which can not only keep and/or improve quality of life but also keep you mobile and functional throughout the ages.
- 
While the squats work primarily the quads and glutes, the deadlift works the glutes, hamstrings and back which means both exercises can and should be done as they work near opposing muscle groups. With that being said, both are very technical movements.
- 
Please, learn the movement properly, keep your ego at the door, and do the movements with proper form on an empty bar or light dumbbells before adding some serious weight. Form>reps and weight any day.
