I've noticed recently a distinction between how Mark Rippetoe teaches the conventional deadlift and the way I see most StrongFirst students performing the lift, specifically the angle of the back in the bottom position. The following videos below show the differences.
More upright...
Less upright...
I noticed a similar difference with the way Mark Rippetoe teaches the squat as well.
I don't want to know which one is "better" but I'm just curious if it matters and if there is a safety concern with either one. I tried searching the articles and forums but couldn't find an answer.
