    Working set of deadlifts, feels like I'm doing something wrong but don't really know what, feels awkward every time I set up before pulling.

    Here's the video:

    Setup is fine. You are letting the bar get off yours legs during the pull, meaning that it is forward of the mid-foot a tad. Make sure to DRAG the bar up the legs!

    Also, stop letting your air out at the top. Hold your air and maintain tightness until the bar hits the floor.

    Finally, its minor, but keep your eyes in one spot - you actually start w your eyes up high, then focus on the floor at the top of the lift. Look at the floor or low wall about 12-15' in front of you, and keep them there.

    Also, your knees are wanting to cave in each rep so make a point to shove them out slightly the entire time Turning your toes out slightly more may help with this as well. Good set.
