    These are better than your last ones. All those things you list are better but could still be improved. Notice how your hips move up a little as the bar break the floor? That's because they should already be there.

    "Drop your belly between your thighs" will be helpful here. You want your hip angle to be as closed as possible while leaving your hips in the correct position. This ensures that hip extension can contribute the most to the movement. You are extending your back but it's not locked in full extension, and so is a little soft as the bar breaks the floor.

    Ah. Missed that, since I'm not an anal receptor.

    Thank you for taking a look. Are you refering to a lower back with a concave arch such as here on the right?

    I just tried for 15 minutes and couldn't do it. Not sure whether my back simply does not bend that way or I am physically stupid. Is assuming this position a requirement for safe deadlifting?

    Everybody's back bends that way. You just have to learn how to do it.
