What Muscles Does a Deadlift Work?

All of them!
Deadlift - Key Points:
► Keeping your back flat, head NEUTRAL, slowly bend from the waist and knees.
► At the bottom, you should feel a "slight" stretch in your hamstrings - i.e. butt back, not down.
►At this point, driving your heels into the ground FIRST, stand back up to the starting position using forceful contraction of the hamstrings, glutes, quads.
►Do not lean back at the top of the rep. Get to the point where your lats are contracted, not hyper extended at your lower back.
