    See the sticky for guidelines. This angle is not the best for a DL form check. That said, it looks like you are shifting out of your setup position too far back into your heels as you squeeze your back. You are also losing your back squeeze when you breathe after squeezing your back.

    Sorry for the crap angle coach. I did today the deadlift with 130kg again, and now took a vid shot from the side. Got to midfoot today(last time was far from it so this why i got to my heels), and also took a breath before setting the back and hold it till i hit the lockout.
    How it looks? Felt easier then than the last time:

    Filming from the front 45 would be best. Midfoot balance is better today. I think your hips might be a touch too high still (and thus bar starting behind mid foot), but hard to tell from this view. Also, more back squeeze needed.

    This is the workset from todays workout. 132.5kgx5. Took a vid from the front 45 angle. Is my stance looks wide?

    Yes, too wide. Move feet in a bit so they are under hips. Then knees out just enough to touch your arms, not bend them.

    This is from todays workout. I took a more narrow stance and tried to not push the elbows with my knees when i shoved them out. Is that looks better today? I repeated the weight from the previous workout to nail the right form.
