Critique my deadlift, version three.

Ok, this is only my second attempt since I got all your feedback, but I figured I'd check in again before I keep going.

I see that my head/neck isn't right because I was looking in the mirror, but I'd love to hear feedback about the rest of it. I tried to focus on a better spine position, keeping my upper body tight, and pushing instead of pulling.

This is better than your last for sure. See how you pull your shoulders back at the top? Start with them that way and stay that way. Your hips are still coming up a bit early but there is a lot of improvement here.

I've seen the cue pack your neck and look at a spot on the floor 10-15 feet in front of you.

Thanks! I was definitely pushing my shoulders back when I started, but it felt hard! Maybe I just need more practice to do it better.

you're butt is coming up and your chest is dropping at the start of the pull because you aren't fully engaged. take some time to get rock solid before you pull. Maybe think about sitting back as you pull so you can keep your chest up, When you lean forward you are using your back rather than your legs to get the bar started, and thats not good. you want your legs to do the work. Get the bar closer to your body, run it up your legs, wear long socks so you can run the bar up your legs . Pull IN while you pull up. maybe think about wearing some flat shoes like chucks, and not running shoes so that you are firm and solid on the floor. i hope that helps. getting engaged at the start of the lift takes time to learn and lots of focusing, but after a while it will become automatic
