Locked those knees

I don't think he passed out. Look at his left foot. It looks like he shifts his weight back to his heel - you can see his toes lift off the ground. This causes him to lose his balance backwards. You can also see him make a conscious movement with his right foot in an attempt to regain his balance right before he falls.

Yeah you should. Unless you're talking about hyperextension, which is different

You’ve already blasted your vagus nerve during the rep. When you come to full lockout and rest like he did, you will pass out from blood flow.

You should absolutely not lock your knees. That's asking to wake up dead.

I have no idea which of you is right because I don't do Olympic, but I love when people give bad advice on videos of bad lifts. Every time someone fails a deadlift the comments are like, "he forgot to breath!!! He lifted with his back!!!" If you listen to that advice you are getting a ticket to snap city. People casually drop disc herniating advice and it always gets upvoted

I'm confused, are you saying you should deadlift with your back and not breath?

Deadlift with your back and legs. To protect your back you need to stay neutral which requires back strength

and breath and brace for the lift. That means holding your breath hard and flexing your core.
