    i dont go heavy on deads anymore, no single or doubles.....but anyway, i pull from the floor, i pull from the rack..but waist high seems too high...go at least below your knees.....but if you want to get a really good stretch... do deads fron a box...i stand on a box about 4 to 6 inches high and pull the barbell off the floor from there.........good luck bro

    I perform deadlifts from the floor.
    There is more hip extension so your glutes, hams, and lower back (as a stabilizer) get a better workout.
    Make sure to maintain neutral spinal alignment. Don't let your hips rise faster than your shoulders.
