yes follow that form.

start off as low as you want. start off just with the bar (which is 20kg), and then add 10kg and make sure you have strict form.
your first deadlift session should familiarise you with keeping form. it's very different pulling just a bar compared to pulling 60kg, so slowly work your way up from a comfortable weight (start as low as you need, dont overdo yourself cos peoples lower backs arent normally that strong so you will feel like a zombie for the first week and you'll feel even worse if you overdid your very first deadlift sesh).

I was only because one of my classes wasn't on today. Normally I go in between the two of them. Might make up for it tomorrow. I should have a bit of time.

Normally I'm pretty motivated to go. Stayed up far too late last night, and with a cancelled class, there was no incentive.

There's probably more to that rippetoe video (cbf checking), but there should be more emphasis on your shoulders/upper back than foot stance (just don't go too narrow and too angular with your feet and you're good).

Make sure you don't be a hero and slouch your shoulders trying to pull a big lift. Always keep it relatively straight (I spent so much time with this bad form).

Don't go TOO light in your first few sessions (after the first), you need to get your shoulders/upper back used to the lift, and lower back used to the negative - at least thats how I mainly see it.

And make sure the bar is around 1/4 to 1/2 your shin height at least.

Just what I learnt as a noob...

ye theres a second part to the video which i didnt post

i guess a part of making your back straight is to push your chest outwards? i trialled dead lifts today for the first time at 20kgs but it was pretty light and i felt nothing in the back lol

will spend a lot of time trying to get this one right

I skipped gym on wednesday because I've been experiencing debilitating shooting pain up my left leg whenever the knee is fully extended with bodyweight on it.

Here is an emoticon for how not going to the gym made me feel:

yeah chest up as you lift.
slowly add on w8 till you reach a point where it's not too hard to lift, but you feel something in your back, then once you've perfected your form then think about going up (this sentence is for deadlifting for the first time ever).
my first dl sesh involved warming up with a 50 and then doing 3 or 4 sets of around 7-8 with 60kg, and i worked out my form then.
i been going up 10kg each week so yesterday i did 90kg, and i dont think i can reach 100 next week lol so i'll be hanging around the 80-90 mark till i start buildingn some back/hamstring strength.

Those are pretty light weights bro.
Try pushing, go heavier but don't lose form either.

My routine:
3 sets dumbbells presses (22.5kg)
3 sets flys (10kg)
6 sets skullbashes with ez bar (10kg)
3 sets dips
3 sets pull ups
and if i'm not burnt out, i do supersets

Which gym do you go to?

This reminds me. What motion should you be pulling the lat machine for a back workout?
