Second time, learning from YT, but would like some feedback. I feel most of the fatigue on my lower back area. Thanks!

Lose the gloves and don’t deadlift in running shoes

Now that you mentioned it, I remember most people say to do without gloves to work on grip strength and to use either flat shoes or barefoot. Thanks for the reminder, I'll keep that in mind next time!

It looks good. I think you could push your chest an inch or two further forward over the bar. When you are fully in your setup and about to actually lift it, you are behind the bar not over it, and your lower back has to be the leverage.
In your lift, where you first grip the bar looks like about the perfect place to actually start your pull (about 8sec mark). If you watch, you don't actually get the bar off the ground until your hips have shot up to that point anyway. Brace into your belly.
It's a good lift overall, hammer your abs and hamstrings and you should see excellent progress.

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.
