Deadlift Deadlift form check

Been trying to dial in my deadlift after not doing them for a while. Worked my way back up to 315x3 and this set felt good but I wanted an outsider’s perspective. Any thoughts or criticism are appreciated 🙏

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.

Looked good to me. You get set, get tight, take slack, then pull. Bar path in way up is straight/vertical. On way down, something seems a little off as bar seems to go backwards first as you start

Worth thinking about your stance width. It's personal, but I switched recently to a much narrower stance and felt a lot stronger off the ground. Mitch Hooper discusses it here: https://youtu.be/XgJX9580wj8?feature=shared

It looks like you're pulling more with your upper body than pushing up with your legs.
