    Deadlifting Concern

    Ok, so I've been deadlifting on my back days, watching a lot of movies, reading articles on form, etc...one thing I notice is that when I initiate the lift from the floor, my left knee tends to buckle a little inwards toward my right...I've never felt any pain, I just want to see if there is some sort of a remedy...my feet are about a foot apart...basically I wanna know if it could it be an issue of needing a wider stance? Maybe point my toes a little more outward? Something simple...or is it an indicator of needing to use less weight?

    Widening your stance and ensuring your feet are pointing where your knees are pointing is all I can come up with.

    might be an issue regarding muscular imbalance and foot positioning

    Your inner thigh muscles are a little imbalanced to the outer part. Do some leg presses with your toes pointing outward for a month and this should fix the problem. I saw a vid of Dorian Yates and this is what he recommended.
    Here is the vid: http://mdtv.musculardevelopment.com/...-training.html
    VERY informational, people can learn from him.

    position your feet so you toes are pointed out

    as you start to drive your feet into the floor also visualize your feet tring to tear/rip the floor in half, do this by trying to press your feet apart.
