The deadlift works more muscles than any other exercise on the planet (including the squat) and it's another quintessential weightlifting exercises that can help you build a great amount of mass in all parts of the back including the spinal erectors, lats, traps and core, while also contributing to immense overall functional strength gains.

Squats, deadlifts, pullups are far greater for boosting testosterone than isolation exercises.

Although Willardson et al. (2009) found that muscle activity was greater in the deadlift than in the back squat, these results may depend upon the exact region measured, as Hamlyn et al. (2007) reported greater muscle activity in the back squat than the deadlift in the lower erectors but greater muscle activity in the deadlift than the back squat in the upper erectors (with the same relative loads), although Nuzzo et al. (2008) reported no differences (also using the same relative loads).

No other exercise has been found to involve greater quadriceps muscle activity than the back squat but the barbell hip thrust involves greater gluteus maximus activity and the deadlift involves greater erector spinae muscle activity.

So training it heavy is great, but you will likely need more rest between heavy deadlift training sessions than you might for other lifts, including unconventional training.

Moreover, the hip extension moment measured during deadlifts appears to be slightly greater than that measured in the traditional back squat and this may be a result of the greater peak external moment arm at the hip, (c.f. Escamilla et al. 2000; Escamilla et al. 2001b).

So exercises that involve less knee extension (hip thrusts, deadlifts, pull throughs and back extensions) will tend to produce much greater hip muscle activation than those that involve more knee extension (squats, lunges, and leg presses), although there are other factors involved of course!

Comparing the effects of deadlift technique, Escamilla et al. (2002) found that the conventional deadlift style displayed greater gastrocnemius muscle activity than the sumo deadlift style.

(1999) found that there was little difference between the stiff - legged deadlift and the leg curl but both the stiff - legged deadlift and leg curl produced greater hamstrings muscle activity than the back squat.
