    Your hips are too low. So you have to raise them after you extend your knees. Watch this video: How To Deadlift: Starting Strength 5 Step Deadlift - YouTube

    Deliberately go thru each of the steps. See if that changes things for you.

    I was really careful with my setup today, and my hips ended up in the same place, maybe only slightly higher. My hips dropped a hair on some of the reps, but notwithstanding my back angle is much more vertical than most folks. I assume that has to do with my proportions.
