The dead-lift works all major muscle groups. But it actually does not target any one in particular. As for the upper body, it works the Upper middle back, traps, and gives a kind of extra fullness to the chest area.

It is one of the 3 major muscle-building exercises cornerstone exercise. The Bench Press and Squat are the other two

You simply build your routines around these 3 for a mag physique.

If you do not include these 3 , you are missing out on strength and power. One important thing to remember about the dead-lift. If overused ,it can give you rounded shoulders, so make sure you add plenty of shoulder exercises

Good Training
