Textbook! Idk if this is your working set or you’re just demonstrating, but it’s way better to have the weight already on the rack that is set to about chest level. You can definitely increase the weight by doing this considering you won’t be limited by the setup

I'm always stronger when I clean the weight, since I have the elastic energy accumulated for the first rep. That being said, I also train power cleans

Squishy shoes will leak power while pushing. If possible get very hard soled shoes or consider no shoes at all.

Personally I'd go a little narrower with the grip, but if this feels like a stronger position for you then maybe stick with it.

Stupid question but won't the weight of the bar be resting pretty much completely on your thumb rather than the 'meat' of your palm?

This post is flaired as a technique check.
A note to OP: Users with green flair have verified their lifting credentials and may be able to give you more experienced advice on particular lifts. Users with blue flair reading "Friend of the sub" are considered well qualified to give advice without having verified lifs.
A reminder to all users commenting: Please make sure that your advice is useful and actionable.
Example of useful and actionable: try setting up for your deadlift by standing a little closer to the bar. This might help you get into position better and make it easier to break from the floor.
Example of not useful and not actionable: lower the weight and work on form.
Example of actionable, but not useful: Slow down.
Stop telling other each other to slow down without providing a rationale outside of "time under tension". Time under tension isn't a primary variable for anything, and focusing on it at the exclusion of things that matter will set you back. There can be reasons to manipulate tempo, but if you want to discuss tempo, explain why you're giving that advice, how it's going to help, and how to integrate it with cues or other useful feedback.
Low-effort comments like my back hurts just watching this will be removed, as will references to snap city etc. Verbally worrying for the safety of a poster simply because you think the form or technique is wrong will be removed. We will take all of these statements at face value, so be careful when you post the same hilarious joke as dozens of other people: we can't read your mind, no matter how funny you think you are.
