ok, with deadlifts, you need not worry about hurting yourself and the slightest mistake. you need worry about hurting yourself period. because each time you do them, you do. later in life, youll see, and youll regret. do something else if you must work lower back hard, extensions on those 45 degree things with weights held to your chest while NEVER going past a straight back would be better, but deadlifts are never a good thing. i strongly advise not doing them. ever.

 

anyhoo, you mentioned squats, (ignoring the strain on the knees the cause) they work your quads mostly, so id recommend leg curls in addition to. also lunges for quads, those work great. anyway, you lsoe flexiblity with any such exercise, but if you stretch daily and correctly, you will gain flexibility no matter what. so do that and youll be fine.
