The deadlift is a compound movement that works a variety of muscle groups: The finger flexors work isometrically to keep the bar held in the hands.
The erector spinae (muscles of the lower & middle back) work isometrically to keep the spine from rounding. The gluteus maximus and hamstrings work to extend the hip joint. The quadriceps femoris works on knee extension during the first phase of lift off.
Learn the technique, work on consistency and progressively increase the intensity.
