For the deadlift, filming straight from the side would be better. (but nice job turning up the exposure compensation compared to previous vids)

On the way up you could go faster. If it's really heavy it'll be slow because you won't be able to go fast, but this looks like you're going slow on purpose. Also, on the way down go considerably faster.

You could overall get better extension out of your back, i believe. When you set up put your lumbar more in extension. Also squeeze your chest up more and use your lats to push the bar toward your shins too. All these things will result in a harder, more extended back. At the top of the reps you can tell that your back is capable of considerably more extension than what you're doing when you set up.

Now, when you put the weight down, you especially want to be careful to keep your back in extension rather than relaxing it. When you start putting it back, fold at the hips by pushing your butt back, but in doing so try to keep the same low back curve as you had in the lock out.

that's all i got.

Thanks again for the tip, I will try to extend more when locking out and keep my back tight when going down. I will also try to squeeze my chest some more and use some more of my lats to keep it near my shins.
I will post update on next deadlift session, thank you.

no no. Your lockout is fine. I'm saying that when you set-up before you lift you want your back to look more like it does at lockout. In the ideal case the DL shouldn't have any movement of the backbone at all (except the neck a little). Should just be hips and knees.

The bar's floating out in front of your legs once it passes the knees, as the weight goes up you'll have to focus on pulling it back in towards your legs. Doesn't look too bad to me overall.
