    You set up properly then immediately lose lumbar extension when you start the pull.
    You are still lifting on squishy carpet.

    Yep, go to local hardware store, purchase a box cutter, cut out about an 8'x8' section of the carpet, and get some firm footing underneath you. You'll notice a difference.

    Your setup could use a little more consistency. Some of the time you are in the correct position, and sometimes your shoulders are ahead or behind the bar. The setup steps for the dead on p 111 of SS are very useful for getting things correct off the floor.

    Shouldn't his hips be lower? Looks almost like an SLDL right now...

    Yes, his scapulae aren't just over the bar, they're in front of it.
    Having the hips a bit lower from the start would take care of that.

    Keep the bar closer to your legs, as well. It should slide against your thighs. Also, once the bar gets above your knees, squeeze your glutes to help you bring your hips forward. Always finish with the hips. I like to think about locking my hips and knees at the same time.
