    Look at the bar every time it leaves the floor. Then look at your low back and your shoulders.

    Here’s my deadlifts today at 365. I don’t think I’ve gotten any better form wise, but everything “feels” good on my setup and during the lift.

    Thoughts?

    These look pretty much the same as the 340lbs video.

    When the bar is on the floor, it should not be moving forward or backward.

    You are combining steps 3, 4 (your not really squeezing your chest up) and 5 into one jerky movement to start the pull. Separate the steps.

    and squeeze your chest up through your arms, your not doing this at all.

    Video your warm ups and make sure that 1. the bar is not rolling forward or back and 2. your back is flat before you push the floor away.

    Today @ 375. I think it looks a little bit better. What do you think?

    The bar is still rolling forward and backward in between reps.

    We need a video that shows us your feet and bar position as it leaves the floor. You're probably pulling with the bar forward of midfoot but I can't see your feet during the set up.

    The double clutch setup isn't helping. Every time you bring your shins to the bar it moves, and when you do it twice like that the bar is still moving around when you start the pull. Work on bringing your shins to the bar without moving it and then leave them there while you set your back. On the reps where you don't double clutch it looks like the bar still kicks forward a tiny bit because you're dropping your hips. An angle that confirms the bar placement over the midfoot would be helpful too.
