Leaning back on the deadlift? :S
OK I was deadlifting at the gym the other day and a personal trainer said "wanna lift heavy on the deadlift...?" and then showed me how he does them. He said to almost look up to the ceiling to fully use the hamstrings and lats, but lean back too to prevent back injuries. Now usually I'd brush it off seeing as though it sounds very unorthodox but as a personal trainer I thought I'd at least see what people thought on here so here's a crude mspaint drawing of how he looked at the top of the lift:
