Deadlift form check

[Flak20]

Hey guys,

Could someone please have a look at my deadlift?
I think the setup is right, but something seems to be wrong with how I start the lift?
I'm also getting bruised shins, but it's not too bad.

Thank you!

Set the bar down faster. If your shins are being scraped, try to pull them back a little quicker on the way up.

Thank you for your feedback.

Never actively thought about pulling my shins back.
Is this the same as the leg press cue in this article?

I always struggled with putting the bar down to the right place. Then I found the advice to look down on the mid foot when lowering the bar, which works pretty well but I'm still a little insecure with the lowering process. That's why it's so slow but I will work to speed it up.
