Dont want to detail the wod thread, but I would gently encourage you to learn correct deadlift technique with a regular bar. The deadlift is the easiest barbell lift to coach someone else how to learn, and there is no substitute. Intermediate strength athletes may benefit from rack pulls or other DL variations.
Deadlift is leaps and bounds easier to learn than a proper squat.
Look up starting strength on YouTube, start light, and take baby steps progressing over time.
