Very sound technique, just remember you need to lock out your knees before you hips in a sumo deadlift.

My coach says this a lot, do you have a cue? I can’t really understand how it feels esp at maximal loads

Not really any cues. Keep your torso and hip position the same as you fully extend your knees. Only once your knees are fully locked do you push through with the hips.
