    Don't move the bar before you pull it. Do lift your chest, hard before you pull. Do take a video with a set that isn't so appallingly light for you.

    Stance looks real wide, and I still see no effort to lift the chest before you pull. Your chest is not your chin. It often takes some practice to get your brain to understand this very confusing fact.

    You're not setting your back at all. Let the bar settle where is will before you set up to pull. Once you hit step 3 and your shins touch the bar, pull your chest up hard and flatten your back.

    Could you elaborate a bit on the 'setting your back' bit. I don't get what you mean by that.

    Thanks.

    This may be the very common case of not being able to use your spinal erectors to achieve a flat back (lumbar extension).

    Do this before you deadlift and see if it helps: Lower Back Position Control with Mark Rippetoe - YouTube
