Improve Your Pull Instantly     "One of the biggest problems people have with the deadlift –
regardless of their pulling style – is the hips shooting up at the
start of the pull as they try to break the bar off the floor. This
not only makes for a weaker pull, but it also puts your lower back at an increased risk of injury.

Pulling
from a deficit forces you to exaggerate getting your hips down, so when
you remove the deficit for your heavier sets, it's much easier to do
it correctly.
