Since most CORRECT Deadlift instructional videos say for the bottom part you should be pushing with all legs?

Deadlift > Any competition depth squat. Even if you buy into the whole 'squat the weight off the floor' thing (I don't), you're not going to be under full load at parallel or below on your deadlift, unless you have some mad stubby arms lol.
edit: I speak only from high bar squat and conv. deadlift experience.

I don't go quite ATG because of a knee issue, though I wish I could squat like that. When I do go ATG with lighter weights I feel how explosive and athletic I could be. I think I'd actually be able to squat more if I hit the hole with speed and was able to use a rebound reflex.
With that said, my below parallel squat and deadlift are even. However my squat goes, so goes my deadlift.Old Maxes as of 6/17/2013: Current Maxes as of 7/14/2013:
Squat: 550lbs > Squat: 590lbs
Bench: 350lbs > Bench: 350lbs/365lbs tng
Deadlift: 550lbs > Deadlift: 570lbs Beltless
Total: 1450lbs > Total: 1510lbs

Hmm I should clarify a bit. I am not implying that you do not use leg drive while deadlifting, all common knowledge on how to perform a deadlift applies. I just believe the dynamics of the squat and deadlift are sufficiently different that 'squatting the weight off the floor', while perhaps an apt mental que, is not representative of how you actually do the lift. I dunno, I'm not an authority on anything, that's just my opinion though. I come here to learn, but I want to post vids so I need posts.

Raw lifters usually have a higher deadlift that even their parallel squat. I deadlift 240kg and squat 170kg (although could probably get at least 175kg now if I went for it) lmao
