Named Muscles. The specific primary muscles used in a deadlift are the erector spinae, gluteus maximus, quadriceps, hamstrings and adductors. The secondary or stabilizing muscles are the trapezius, rhomboids, flexors, extensors, serratus anterior, rectus abdominus, transverse abdominus, gluteus medius/minimus, soleus and the gastrocnemius.
The deadlift will use many of your bodyâs muscles. Your glutes, hamstrings, quadriceps, lower back, and core will be the main targeted muscles. However, the upper body must be tight and in a neutral position (not curved) throughout the movement in order to perform the deadlift efficiently and safely.
