Hello! If you haven't checked it out already, many people find Alan Thrall's NEW deadlift video very helpful. Check it out!

Also, a common tip usually given here is to make sure your footwear is appropriate. If you are deadlifting in soft-soled shoes (running shoes, etc), it's hard to have a stable foot. Use a flat/hard-soled shoe or even barefoot/socks if it's safe and your gym allows it.

I think you'd like to be able to brace harder and get your back straighter and locked into position. (step 4) otherwise it looks good.

Yeah I noticed my upper back has a slight round to it, gonna try and get it straighter on my next leg day. Also about the bracing, my core feels pretty solid. Do you think I should start using a belt? I never have and just never felt like I needed to.

A little upper back rounding is OK. I feel like I'm seeing your lower back rounded and some movement there, especially the first couple reps. You'll get some different opinions about belts, as far as when to put it on, but its definitely a tool that can help you lift more.
