The initial position before you do the first rep is fine... after that you stop moving your hips/upper legs...
Dont get me wrong- your form is good compared to what Ive seen before and see on a daily base. But especially the lowest part of your spine needs to be arched more to prevent future disc issues! Its often caused by unflexibility in your hamstrings!

Thanks Daniel . Did not realize after first rep my movement changed . Should of seen it myself in video .
I only picked dead lift back up after 29 year absence . Our high school coach was a former Olympic wrestling coach from the 80's He got me into weights . My next dead lift day is mid next week , and ill lighten up to focus on movement .

Good rule of thumb for deadlifts are “If your shins aren’t bleeding your probably doing it wrong”
Meaning your lower back should not bow or round. It should remain straight like a 45 degree angle. So as you dip your ass and contract your back and shoulder muscles the weight should move straight up. A lot of times especially with heavier weight the bar will scrape against your shins. It’s the same motion when you are lowering the weight. You don’t want to lean over as your putting the weight down. That will compromise your form and force your to round your back and put unnecessary stress on your vertebrae.
Look @ any powerlifting picture of somebody lifting a heavy amount of weight and you’ll see their shins scraped or bleeding.
Don’t get me wrong like previously mentioned your form isn’t terrible it’s just as you move up in weight those little discrepancies will only be more exaggerated which could lead to injury
Last bit of advice I can give you is ditch the sketchers when deadlifting or squatting. Those shoes have way too much padding and cushion which will make you unbalanced. It forces you to be more on your toes instead of your heels where your base and power comes from. The old school Converse Chuck Taylor’s are good cause they have a flat sole and little padding. If you don’t like them try using timberland style work boots with the hard soles. Guaranteed you’ll feel more solid and planted to the floor which will help with your form

1busa thank you . Normally in my work boots , and had no plans of doing this routine today . just kind of well let me do a few . Felt good so kept moving up . I had already been through my squat routine . This model shoe is quiet a bit stiffer than the go walk versions . However they did seem to squish around with 325 pounds plus my 142

I think that was the big issue with many about the style of her lift . Wonder what she could do in a traditional method .
