What in the farm gym is going on here! Not a bad deadlift at all, however notice the bar is touching your knees on the descent of the deadlift, this is because you’re setting the bar back to the ground by bending your knees, the deadlift is a hip hinge movement, hinge at the hips more to lower the bar. I think you could benefit more from hinging at the hips more in general before you pull, the weight looks quite easy for you right now, at heavier loads I’d expect your hips to rise and pull you out of position, your knees are extending past your arms when setting up, you want them to be in line with your arms, think of pushing your knees into the inside of your elbow.

What a place to work out! Form looks pretty good, the weight should probably be heavier for better effect and once it gets challenging the form issues also become more obvious. Main problem here is that on the descent you bend your knees too much and the bar gets caught on them a bit.
Also not sure if youre doing it here but once the weight gets heavy, make sure to brace before each pull. Bracing means taking a big breath into your gut and holding your midsection tight kinda like preparing to take a punch to the stomach.

Second this - also would add a small detail that, to brace before each pull, you'll want to fully set the weight down in between reps before re-bracing and picking it back up, instead of just touching the ground with it.
Sweet gym setup!

Good. I think you just need some practice to get into the rhythm. Also, the weight looks light for you.

Breathing/bracing really was my problem when I started.
Good video on this: https://youtu.be/bUbQkp8RyKY?feature=shared

I think at the top you can pull your shoulder back and hip forward just a bit more for your back to benefit from the lift as well.

"The deadlift looks very good, but it would be even better if you could let me see your grip width.

Some feedback for returning the bar to starting position. You want to keep that bar path nice and straight on the way down as well. If you look you can see your knees bending immediately and the bar is having to slide down your leg and go around your knee to the floor. From the standing position, try keeping your legs straight, hinging at the hips until that bar breaks he plane of your knee and then bending your knees to return to starting position

The bar should be at midfoot. Notice how you hit your knees with the bar even though the bar is too far forward? Move your ass back to achieve depth, and this will also move your knees back. This is also why your heels are coming up.

Just want to chime in and say sick gym bro! I workout outside as well, except I'm in the desert.

Push your knees back further as you go down. Shouldn’t be going around them, but almost touching your body on the way up. As in keeping the bar close.

Also looks like your weight is more on the front of your feet, should be mid foot and heels, able to wiggle your toes.

Have you considered putting some hardcore Matts on the concreted area while deadlifting? It might help you get a more leveled surface compared to the grass which could make a huge difference.

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.
