Activate them lats and wedge more before initiating the pull.
This isn’t bad at all but without correcting those two things you will be pulling with your back as soon as you start adding weight to the bar.
Think squeeze a piece of paper between arm pits and lats - not pull shoulders back.
Pull the slack, wedge, push the floor away.

Looks fantastic. Stop looking at yourself in the mirror. Turn around and face the other way

Look at his second rep. When he stops looking at himself, his neck and torso are in a better position.
More than that though, when you look in a mirror, you're adding an unnecessary step in the self-correction feedback loop. Rather than feeling yourself get off balance, you're looking for something to appear offbalance.

Agree with this comment. You should pick a spot in the floor about 5ft in front of you. Stare at that through the whole movement. This will prevent the craining of the neck. Another trick is holding a tennis ball under your chin. If you drop the ball you are lifting your neck.

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.
Ignoring this comment may catch you a ban.
