^^^^Here's a description:

1. Start in the completed deadlift position.

2. Bend the knees slightly.

3. Lower the bar by pushing the hips back (butt back)

4. Lower the bar below the knees but not to the platform. Tension must remain on the muscles . Stand on blocks if you want to get lower (this means until you reach full tension on the hams and if you go any lower your lower back would have to round or you upper back. This will be different for different people. I can go all the way to the floor and need a block to get more tension.)

5. The position should be, "SHINS VERTICAL, HIPS BACK, and BACK STRAIGHT".

6. The movement should not be fast but steady and under control all the way.

7. The back must remain straight. The movement is from the hips. The arms remain straight throughout (this is hard for people to tell the difference...takes work).

8. Breathing: Take a deep breath at the start of the movement and keep the chest up throughout. Hold your breath as you lower and exhale as you complete the movement.

9. Start light to develop the technique and "feel" of the movement.

The bar will remain fairly close to the body at all times.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
