    And NEW weight lifters should NOT try deadlifts or barbell squats without someone trained or experienced. . . it is a good way to hurt yourself if no one is checking your form starting out.

    Absolutely true - and for any free weight exercise and some machines really. It's amazingly easy to wreck your lower back.

    Youtube videos are not a substitute for an experienced trainer, or at least, a book like Starting Strength.
