Deadlifts. Is this all I need to know?

I agree......you should lead with your head not ur legs.

I disagree with one aspect of that sites instruction. I have found if you start by lifting your chest (ie straightening your spine) slightly before pushing with your legs there is a lot less lower back strain (take it from a guy who has herniated his L4-5 disc and had to lay off lifting for 2 years). If you push with your legs first and then straighten your back your spine is in a higher stress position as your spine and discs are under a great deal of shearing tension. Also if you do it my way you won't bang up your shins nearly as bad.

if you dont have a bionic back and want to get some leg out of it too try the sump style. Mine is ultra wide with my toes almost touching the inside of the plates. Yank it!
