wHAT THE HELL ARE YOU PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT?
YOUR FORM LOOKS GOOD AS FAR AS YOUR BACK GOES BUT YOU NEED TO GET LOWER WITH YOUR BUTT. IF YOU WATCH THE 1ST LIFT YOUR BUTT IS PRETTY HIGH AND EACH LIFT YOU SEEM TO LOWER IT JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE BY THE 3RD REP YOU LOOK PRETTY CLOSE. BUT I WOULD TRY TO GET MY BUT JUST A LITTLE LOWER NOT MUCH. ALSO WHEN YOU ARE ALL THE WAY UP YOU NEED TO PULL YOUR SHOULDERS BACK A LITTLE MORE ALMOST TO THE POINT THAT YOU ARE KIND OF LEANING BACK THIS MAKE FOR A COMPLETE LIFT. SO THE BAR SHOULD BE ON YOUR HIPS. " I WILL TRY TO FIND SOME PICTURES."

Timeout? No, timeouts are for Plats
Everything looked great except your not bringing your shoulders all the way back at the top. You're stopping the rep right before being fully locked out.
Also listening to heavy metal while lifting heavy metal can only help

Louie Simmons says: "Which is stronger your 1/2 squat or your full squat? 1/2 squat of course is stronger, so why try to full squat your deadlift?"stalker23 said:
Your start position is spot on, just work on finishing the lift.

i agree with extra strong. this dudes form is not on at all. could be worse. the way you do it just imagine sitting in a chair. you are starting with your knees locked already. if you start in that upright position you are not working much legs which is what the deadlift is suppose to hit along with lower back. just get your ass down like your sitting in a chair, then stand up out of the chair when you lift.
Things i did notice:
1. Starting WAY too high. Get your ass down and back. And pull your shoulder blades together.
2. Your shoulders should be even with the bar (from a side angle...i usually peek in the mirror before my set to make sure that i am even or behind the bar.)
I disagree with powerbuilder, you are NOT in your optical possition to pull. Yes maybe your back is strong as hell, so it is compensating. But when the weight gets heavy, your not gonna be able to pull it up with all your back. The deadlift works the legs, get them involved more. Drive your heels through the floor during the pull.
I powerlift, and my main goal before a lift is to shorten the bar traveling distance to make it easier for me to lift. So even though im making the traveling distance shorter, i still make sure my ass is down to drive out of the hole. If you start 'kicking up' your hips and your ass, when the weight gets heavy your not going to be able to finish the lift.
Also, Please get a 3 rep max lift, or a 1 rep max single. So we can see your form break down too. (not putting u down, as when we can see your form go to complete shit at a weight, we can pinpoint weakspots.)

Yes the deadlift works the legs - The back of the legs!!!
Don't take my word for it (655 in competition at 6'6" tall - a long way to move the bar), just watch the deadlift vid's of Ed Coan, Andy Bolton, Gary Heisey, or anybody at Westside Barbell. Some are available on YouTube.
mm107: Pulling your shoulder blades back at the start of the lift INCREASES the distance of travel = BAD. Try it out yourself. Pulling my shoulder blades together shortens my reach 3" which means I have to bend over 3" (or in your case squat down 3") further to reach the bar.
Stalker23: Your young and your quest for knowledge will help take you far it the sport. At some point you're going to need to use a belt, I suggest a Inzer Lever Belt, the lever is quaranteed for life - and they honor that quarantee.
Best in strength.
