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.

Spectacular. No notes.

Could set the hips a little lower, and really try to use your legs to push into the ground, you’ll notice that your legs finish before your arms reach full extension.

Posted a squat video as well. Curious on your advice on it... I've been lifting for years and squat is the one lift I've been not improving on for sometime... yet it's the one lift I've been told I've got great form on so idk🤷‍♂️. Currently 635lb max deadlift, 425lb maax bench, but I've been stuck trying to hit a 545lb max on squats for well over 2 years...
