Narrow your stance, don't let your hips drop before you pull.
I'd greatly appreciate any thoughts on my deadlift form. My shirt is off not to show of my upper body (which, once you see the video, will be more than obvious - nothing at all to show off there) but so that my back angle is easier to see. (The video says 240x2 but it's actually 225).
I'm specifically wondering about my hips and back, but if there's anything else that looks problematic, it would be great to know. Thanks!

Lock out at top. You should try holding the bar for 1,000 1; 100 2 before you put it down.
Get rid of chucks and wear proper shoes. Chucks are too squishy.
Narrow stance a little and don't drop hips as Jeff has indicated.
Stay with the Chucks, you don't want to wear Squat Shoes for Deadlifts.
Squat shoes are good for deadlifts especially if you ever plan on doing the quick lifts.

All of the great deadlifters wear flat soles, or no shoes at all.
To me it looked like his actual pull caused him to lever backwards prior to the bar breaking off the ground (versus him dropping his hips in the setup).
OP: you are getting onto your toes instead of staying midfoot when you grab the bar. After each step of the deadlift setup make sure your mass is midfoot. When you squeeze, you should feel the weight of the bar in your hands.
