1)
Stand before the weight in a solid, shoulder width stance
2)
Bend at the waist and at the knees equally and at the same time.
3)
Grasp the bar fully and securely in an overgrip or an alternate under/over grip about waist width. Looking straight ahead, your spine in a powerful flat position (not stooped over or rounded) and steadily pull the bar to a full military position.
4)
Keep the bar close to the body and exhale as full force is exerted. Pause for a second of contraction and slowly bend your knees and low back as you return to the starting position and repeat.

Just a question, when performing a deadlift, the range of motion quite resembles a squat? except that the weight is in front instead resting on the shoulders?
Should the thighs go beyond parallel or stop at parallel like squat?
Last of all, using a EZ Curl bar instead of a barbell can work as well?

No, the motion is nothing like a squat. Your shins should remain as vertical as possible and you only lower your hips as far as necessary to grab the bar. Depending on your built, you thighs may come close to being parallel. An EZ curl bar cannot support enough weight to make the deadlift worth doing.

Hips high, chest high. that measn a half squat and keep your back tight this will fulfil both conditions. 2. Pull INTO your cenver of gravity, that means you lean back into the lift. |

When lowering the weight to the floor - do u let gravity take over or use a slow controlled descent. I heard by lowering it slowly, it will cause microtrauma to ur spine.  |

In terms of power, id go with a controlled but fast decent (not dropping) cos the spacial thing aobut the deadlif is starting strength form a stationaly position.
but for some of my sets in the 70-85% range (cos obviously you cant really lower a 100% of 1RM load slowly), for athletes id go with a 3 second lowering phase. It prepares the athlete for deceleration in sports by emphaissing the eccentric portion of the lift.
