I am hoping to start doing a whole body lifting program twice a week. I will order the New rules for lifting for women, but I tend to strain my upper trapezius by hunching my shoulder. I'm looking for a series of you tube videos that will show me how to do these exercises (deadlift, squat etc.) correctly. I know I should probably start with a personal trainer, but that is how I got injured in the first so I am very hesitant.

    anything by mark rippetoe is a good place to start. there's a dedicated NROL4W site witha forum that has good vids as well
    ask for a personal trainer with lifting exeprience
    and you could always record yourself lifting and post a vid on MFP

    "so you think you can squat"/deadlift"
    those aren't bad.

    Use the search terms "Mark Rippetoe."

    That should keep you plenty busy learning about form.

    Another vote for Mark Rippetoe. Westside Barbell has some good stuff on You Tube as well.
