    If the bar goes a little past your shoulders that is not a big deal. Try on focusing on keeping proper posture meaning neutral low back and shoulders down and back. I try to squeeze my shoulder blades together as hard as I can on the initial pull to make sure my shoulders do not role forward.

    my exper. on deads r deadlifting the same weight that i did squats with doing the exact amount of reps (2 days rest between deads and squat) on a good deadlift day u should feel soreness in your hamstrings concentrate on using your whole lower body not just your back this will keep your form and prevent from going to heavy
