NO offense Junk, but if you look closely, he's doing the deadlift in two stages:

1. Straighten the legs.
2. Stand erect.

I was guilty of doing this also for a workout.

It needs to be one fluid motion.

Here's a decent one:



This one is better:



Also, this site has better videos (provided by Mike Robertson):

None taken at all, i was using that as reference so im glad you corrected me.
 
I don't see anything majorly wrong with the movement in the link. the bar needs to come off the ground a bit before you can move your hips. i have long monkey arms, but shorter legs.

plus its an animated gif, so ti looks more jerky than it really would be.

but i totally agree this link shows it best:

yeah it can be hit or miss there.

like, they show stiff leg deadlifts with legs that don't stay stiff...their animation is hardly different from a standard deadlift. and I don't think their romanian deadlift is correct either. :rolleyes:
