What good are deadlifts?

[dirtyboi]

I don't think they will benefit me. I always read that if you want to get big, do deadlifts and squats. Squats, I can see the value in those - works upper leg and stimulates hormone release. Squats I can put on leg day. Deads? When would I use that? What specific muscle would I be targeting? I don't think deads are conducive to a split routine. It uses too many different muscles to be put on any particular day ( back day? leg day?). I always try to keep from getting muscles from getting overlapping workouts to keep them fresh. My Split looks like this:
Monday: Chest, Back
Tuesday: Quads, Hams
Wednesday: Biceps, Triceps
Thursday: Shoulders
Friday: Forearms, Low Back, Abs, Calves
avg. day: 1/2 hr. lift weights 1/2 hr. cardio

Friday is the best day to do them on.

They build up your back, strengthen your core, and because they work so many muscles, release scary amounts of growth hormone.
