Deadlifts are Dangerous

Deadlifts are Dangerous. Plain and simple. They can destroy your back or make it stronger. It all depends upon you. There are a few things to remember when pulling,

#1. KEEP A NEUTRAL OR ARCHED LOWER BACK
#2. KEEP THE BAR CLOSE TO YOUR BODY
#3. NEVER NEVER NEVER SACRIFICE FORM FOR WEIGHT
#4. HIGH REP DEADS DO VERY LITTLE TO INCREASE YOUR MAXIMUM LIFT
#5. YOUR THIGHS SHOULD BE ABOUT 45 DEGREES AT THE START OF THE LIFT
#6. PUSH WITH YOUR LEGS AND DRIVE THROUGH YOUR HEELS
#7. SQUAT TO INCREASE YOUR DEADLIFT

There are hundreds of ways to hurt yourself doing deads, but you don't have to fall victim to a single one with a little investigation.

This is not me, but it is a very well put together video. I cannot disagree with very much this guy says. So, it's logical to assume that if you listen to him, your at least as prepared for deads as myself.
