Don't be a pussy.

This is pretty much the best advise ever given to anybody about anything....

The biggest mistake I see all the time, even saw this at a meet last weekend, is not dropping the hips and getting the leg drive for the initial portion of the lift. People want to RDL it up and your lower back will never out lift your legs. Drop those hips and drive your legs through the floor. Saw a kid miss 650lbs b/c of this and he could have easily made it.

A lot of people don't understand that the dead is a Ham/Glute dominate exercise. It's all about exploding through your heels & your lower back involvement is no more than icing on the cake.
