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