I think hiring a personal trainer or asking someone who really knows what they are doing is best. It is hard to give instructions over the internet. I think you will find that they are easier lifts to perform then you expect.
Work hard and work right

practice on the form and stay relatively light for a week or two. Work on your flexibility as well. As for deadlifts...you should be able to do this so just read exercise desciprtions and practice again. Here is a good article on mistake your probably making...by Dave Tate (from www.t-mag.com).

For deadlifting, try starting with the bar higher off the ground, that will help you with your not being flexible cause that way you wont have to bend down as far to get it? would that be an option?

I had the same problem with trying to do squats. I thought it had to do with inflexibility/age (being 52) and, as hard as I tried with different stances, my heels would still lift. Thought for sure it had something to do with my not being able to squat flatfooted naturally.
Last year, I found I really enjoyed lifting since I found a college women' strength class and ran with the premise. Been doing this a full year now and doing quite well with the heavy lifting. But this inability was getting very frustrating. However, earlier this week, I came across a powerlifting site that showed some pictures and description how to do the "box squat". Not the one listed above (and a very good one that is too!) but just as well. So I went to my college strength class, Monday, and put the advice to work.
FINALLY! I was able to squat parallel using lower weights (165) for the form this way. I was doing near parallels with 235lbs but was blocked. So, now I see what I must do while using the "box" as a teaching device to work my way back up.
Thanks for the those links, guys!

you should only lift what you can lift. the weight may be pussy now but after you work your way up it'll eventually become impressive. don't use weights you can't lift yet, especially for deadlifts, you're risking serious injury there. just keep at it, and you'll do fine over time..
