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.
When performing dead lifts, all your glute muscles have to fire, along with your hamstrings, lower back, adductors and core. Your glutes play the biggest role toward the top of the movement, as you push your hips forward forcefully to finish the lift.
