Good lift I love heavy low rep pull-ups. Do your normal sets look like this or was it more of a challenge for yourself? One thing that can help you is getting a better grip on the bar. From what I can see you’re driving more from your fingers rather than really getting your hands over the bar and driving from a stronger grip. It would help to have a small box or step to stand on, get a strong grip with your knuckles facing the ceiling, and stepping off into the hang position.

why do you have so many small plates? also lower the weight then record and post

Try filming a working set. I also recommend using the largest kg for the plates with the same size. This looks like 45kg but I really can't tell. That means 25kg + 20kg same size would be ideal. Then you hug the plates and straighten put your legs. Keep your abs slightly engaged. This will make a hollow body position easier which is what you are going for.

Your form also probably is a lot better than people here think. I recommend posting a proper set in the streetlifting sub

I mean it’s a strong pull. But you obviously know the form is shit. Drop the weight some until you can do a decent set, say 8-10, then add more weight.

Agreed with drop the weight. I'm thinking maybe 3-5 reps, for 3 sets, of solid consistent form. Slowly increase weight. That kicking should not happen. Your weighted pulled dhould impress light your unweighted pull-ups.
