The bar drifts well forward of midfoot as the set progresses. This is probably related to the fact that you are not in control of the weight at all on the descent. Either way, make sure the bar is above midfoot on each rep.

Setting your back should be done as a single deliberate action. You are "running up" to it with two or three tries and only pulling on the third "run", and so your back is not fully set when the pull begins. Set your back, take a deep breath *without moving*, count "one one thousand" in your head, then begin the pull.

Do not wait so long between reps. Again, lots of wiggling and huffing and puffing which is wasted energy.

These are singles. You are spending way too much time doing a bunch of stuff that you don't need to do in between reps. Grip the bar, set your back, then push your feet through the floor. And wear a belt.

Honestly, I stopped watching just before your 3rd rep; you're taking way too long between reps. Bar down, exhale, big inhale brace, set the back, rip it. Don't waste time down there trying to catch your breath. Don't brace, set your back, let go of the bar, exhale, rebrace, etc... You aren't going to catch your breath, so don't waste time trying. All those seconds down at the bottom gearing up for the next rep are killing you.

Everything looked good leading up to the work set except you need to keep your hips back and up a little more.

Really liked the back setting and the creases in the back of your shirt leading up to the work set during the warm ups. Watch the creases in your shirt on your back and how they decrease during the working set.

First rep of the work set was okay but then you couldn't keep the chest up and back set as you pulled the reps 2-5.

Keep it up, eat more food and keep training.

Thanks all!

You aren't going to catch your breath, so don't waste time trying.

That's an excellent maxim, sir. Very concise. I'm definitely stealing that one. Thanks.
