    Straight back and lift with your legs. Don't be afraid to scrape your knee.

    i started wearing knee high socks on deadlift day because i kept scraping my shins.

    I say bend your knees. You should rarely, if ever, have your knees locked when working out. And keeping a straight back needs to be said twice. This is THE most important thing. Protect that back! Only go as far down as you can manage at first, and go from there. Good luck!
