The lats play a primary role in all strength exercises, even if they aren’t be trained directly.

How do you engage the lats in a deadlift?

The lats play a similar role in the deadlift as they do the squat. In order to maintain proper position and not round your back, you need to engage the lats, which will help you drop your hips and bring your chest up. To engage the lats correctly, think of trying to pull your shoulder blades down into your back pockets.
