A lot of people treat deadlifts like they’re trying to “pull” the bar off the ground. You can see this here as he hinges his hips halfway thru the lift, making it a two-part motion. In reality, deadlift is a “push” exercise, and you should imagine trying to push your feet down through the floor, bringing the bar up in one fluid motion. The only thing your upper body should be doing is holding onto the bar.
