Deadlifts use most of the muscles in your body in some capacity, though the primary muscles involved in concentric contraction are:
- Hamstrings
- Glutes (butt) and
- to a small extent - Calves
and isometric contraction:
- Wrists
- Core muscles
- Upper back (Trapezius)
- Lower back (Erector Spinae)
A wider foot stance will recruit the hips and legs more while a narrower stance focuses on the lower back. Deadlifts are also one of the best ways to improve grip, as long as you don't use straps and use a pronated grip with as heavy a weight as you can.
Deadlifts, along with squats (both with the barbell, of course), are widely considered to be the best exercises you can perform in terms of building mass, bone density, balance, and posture. In other words, if you're not doing these exercises, you're wasting your time in the gym.
Although a compound exercise involving a variety of muscle groups, the deadlift primarily works the lower region of the back (erector spinae). It however also involves the thigh (quadriceps), hamstring (femoral) and gluteus maximus (posterior) muscles. Still other muscle groups are recruited as stabilizers when one performs deadlifts.
It depends on the technique you use to perform them. Traditionally, straight leg deadlifts use lumbar flexion and extension so the primary mover is the erector spinae muscle of the back, with the glutes contributing as well. The hamstrings act isometrically.
A hip-dominant exercise called the deadlift targets the glutes, hamstrings, core, back, and trapezius muscles. Deadlifts are a good exercise to include in a fitness plan since they engage so many different muscle groups.

What can athletes do to get bigger muscles?
Eat lots of lean protein and weight train.
What is a training room?
This is a room with muscletrain stuff. You can train your muscles in a training room.
What muscles can you train with stability ball exercises?
With stability ball exercises, you can train most muscles with various exercises, including the hips, thighs, upper back and abdomen. You can learn these exercises online at the Ball-Exercises website.
What three exercises can you do to build muscle strength?
I would recommend not 3 exercises but 5. These are called the big Five. They are: Squats, Deadlift, Bench Press, Press, and Rowing. The protocol you use to do these exercises is up to you (but I recommend deadlifting at the most only once a week).
What are the 2 muscles that help you do a sit-up?
Sit ups train the abdominals when performed properly. They also train the back muscles too. There are many different variations to work different muscle groups.
Why the vital capacity of a marathon runner is greater than the vital capacity of a nonactive people?
If a person exercises a lot, he or she will not only train his or her muscles, but also his or her lungs. And since the lungs are surrounded by muscles, you train these muscles too. So a marathon runner has stronger lungs, that have a bigger capacity, as the muscles that surround can contract and stretch farther than those of a nonactive person.
What muscles of the low back do the deadlift train?
Basically all of them in some way, isometrically. In other words, they shouldn't be lengthening or shortening, or you're doing them wrong and you probably have already hurt yourself. Deadlifts train most muscles in the body, and yes, they're excellent for all muscles of the lower back.
How do you gain weight and lose fat at the same time?
well, try to lose weight normally and train your muscles because muscles add weight
What does bench press measure?
It depends on what you are measuring because there are two types of muscles. If you are maxing and do 1 rep, then you measure your muscles' explosive capacity. If you do several reps (>8) you train your endurance instead. There is a fine line between endurance and explosiveness, but generally you can say that if you train 1-6 reps, its more explosive training. If you train 12-20 or more than that you train endurance. Between 8-12 you train both.
