Deadlifts is one of the most important and best "over-all" exercises for building muscle. BUT, the most important thing is to get the technique right, otherwise you will injure yourself.

Have a look at this video(s):

*edit* I see Zenbaas's link has the video that I was actually looking for, but couldn't find. Rather watch that video
