Deadlift Conventional deadlift, look decent?

I just got back into deadlifting. I’m doing 285 in the video just for a demonstration, but even on my heavy sets typically my form looks exactly the same. Any advice?

Hello! If you haven't checked it out already, many people find Alan Thrall's NEW deadlift video very helpful. Check it out!

Also, a common tip usually given here is to make sure your footwear is appropriate. If you are deadlifting in soft-soled shoes (running shoes, etc), it's hard to have a stable foot. Use a flat/hard-soled shoe or even barefoot/socks if it's safe and your gym allows it.

Looks great bro. Super nit picky but try and keep your shoulder blades back and down a bit more and your chest a bit higher. But really good form regardless

Solid. Looks fluid to me. But what Jay said, could try to pack your lats more by pulling your shoulders back to maintain stiffness

Overall fine, but:

You never really get set. Hips dance, and you rip it. Take a moment to get set, tight, take slack and then pull.

You stop short of the top position, never really finishing a rep.

There's one flaw here, when you initiate your lift you push you knees forward rather than sitting your butt back, which pushes the bar forward and away from midfoo/center of gravity. It's inefficient and will move the weight more towards your lower back to it's really something you want to correct.
