Hi everyone 
I'm doing my 1rm tests for STS. I am confused about deadlifts, disc 2. Here are my two questions:
1. The pdf lists the classic deadlift, exercise # 108 (with barbell). But in the online workout manager, this exercise isn't in the list, while dumbbell deadlifts are. Is the #108 on disc 2?
2. More confusing to me is the video for #108 deadlifts. I had assumed it would be a "classic" deadlift form, similar to this:
http://youtu.be/WP8lEbeY4LM
(Where you sort of squat down, knees bent, to lift the bar. Knees bending in various points of the move is an integral part of the move, versus the form I saw in video #108, which looks straight-legged)
#108 deadlifts look very similar to stiff-legged deadlifts that come later in STS. Can anyone clarify form on this one, and its difference from stiff-legged form? I noticed most of my DOMS from doing #108 were in hamstrings/behind knee as opposed to lower back and traps.
Thank you!
Elly
