It looks like you're too close to the bar when you set up, should be 1" from your leg.

Stop and reset between each rep, do not "touch and go". When you TNG your deadlifts you are actually taking advantage of a slight bounce when the plates/bar rebound off the floor.

First rep looked good. Once the bar is at the knees, think about pushing your hips into the bar. Lastly, squeeze you abs hard at the top.

Bar placement is good; it is over the middle of his foot (look at the 5 second mark).

Let the bar come to a dead stop each rep. Otherwise you are doing a bent-leg RDL vice a deadlift, using the mechanical bounce of the plates and the stretch reflex of you hip extensors. The result is you will be weak off of the floor.

Re-watched, I see what you mean now, thanks!

Thanks Adam and Dujin for the feedback. Reps 2-5 were always feeling suspiciously easy, I should have known! Happy to hear the form seems good. I'll work on staying tight at the top.

Thanks for taking the time to watch the video and comment, it's really appreciated.

It looks pretty good to me. If anything, I'd say you could stand to add some weight.
