    Your choice of music isn't conducive to lifting heavy weights.

    You need to learn to set your back into extension and hold it there during your pull.

    That's a relatively easy set.

    You're showing signs of hitching the deadlft at the top.

    When you lower the bar, drop it straight down, don't make the bar go around your knees.

    Dead lift reps with a rounded lower back don't count.

    Post a video of a set of 5 at a lower weight like 250 lbs for form comparison.

    It doesn't look like you're doing a valsalva or taking a big breath before you lift. Breathe in as deep as you possibly can and this will increase your inter-abdominal pressure making it harder to bend at the back.
