Don’t deadlift with you weight on the balls of your feet. This is an injury weighting to happen as you’ll tend to pull the weight with your back without properly engaging your lower half causing immense pressure on your lumbar spine.

Your weight should be distributed to the middle of your feet or toward the rear. The idea is to push the earth away from you with your legs as you lift the bar up. You should feel like you’re falling backward but the bar should go up in a straight line.
