    Reality,

    Your back is not rounding but it will eventually if you do not start pausing at the bottom each rep and re-set your back. Bouncing your reps like that will at some point lead to a loss of tightness and proper back position. This is besides that fact that it defeats the purpose of performing deadlifts, which is to build concentric pulling strength from a dead stop.

    Other than that, your set-up and pulling mechanics look pretty good.

    Thanks, yeah I really need to get out of the habit of bouncing. Will do.

    It is hard to do at first so I suggest you de-load a little bit but you will get the hang of it quickly.

    Good luck with your training
