deadlift help

[realworksuks]

Hi, when I do deadlifts my back comes to a 90 degree angle just about. I am not sure if I am doing this lift correctly. I don't want to injure my back.

What angle should your back be when you are bending down to initially pick up the bar, and then on all your reps?

What angle should your legs be as well?

I can definitely feel it working my lower back, hamstrings, and biceps... but I don't want to get any lifetime injuries.. I want proper form.

In a conventional deadlift the back shouldn't be parallell to the floor, drop your hips a bit. Check out the technique articles sticky the "mastering the deadlift) has videos by Eric Cressey preforming them.
