    I'm 20/180cm/80.5kg
    Third set of 5 at that weight.


    My thoughts:
    1st rep looks okay apart form a bit of butt wink.
    2nd rep depth not quite there but more butt wink.
    3rd rep needed to keep my chest up.
    4th rep I didn't keep my weight back and chest up and ended up finishing the lift with my back.
    5th rep much the same as the fourth. Not sticking my ass back.


    Other things worth noting:
    My DL is crap, 125kg 1RM.
    I've had a bad back in the past.
    I have flat feet.
    I have a bit of anterior pelvic tilt.

    You're all over the place. This is because you're looking in the mirror and your visual reference point is constantly moving. You need to pick a spot 6 to 8 feet in front of you on the floor. If there's a wall or mirror there, pretend. I used to bring a black sheet attached to suction cups to put in front of inconveniently placed cages like the one you're using. Your neck/ head should be neutral or you'll kill your hip drive which is another thing you're doing by keeping head up. Fixing your eye gaze will help tremendously. Get some lifting shoes.

    Also, next time get video from further back so we can see your set up. We should be able to see the lifter from head to toe throughout the lift.
