If you don't fix your camera angle I swear I won't watch your vids again.

Cba to break my neck to analyse your form really.

Appears to me that your starting position is off.

Your back is almost parallel to the floor which is taking away from driving with your legs.

Keep shoulders over the bar but drop your ass down which will put you in a better position imo.

My body has to contort like crazy to get into that position, and then my knees are very far over the bar, or my lower back is very rounded =S

So what you're saying is you need to improve you mobility in order to fix form?

Just because you cant currently get into a proper position, doesn't mean you should accept bad positioning. You can even see a slight raise in your heals halfway completing the rep.

I'm not saying sit all the way back, but you should have more of an upright torso in my opinion. Anyways gl;hf

seems more like a romanian deadlift, which isnt all that bad, form is alright, back seems straight

if you want to have a better force transfer and be able to lift more weight, fixing your form like oak said should do the trick

also all your videos are sideways, fix the form of your videos

move your damn feet closer together, when that bar gets to right about your knee thats when you should start driving through with your hips.

your ass starts okay, but watch at the beginning of the lift, its shooting up like 6+ inches as your breaking off the floor / really even before that. get your weight behind you too, on your heels more.

You should try deadlifting standing up rather than lying down.
