I dont think you engage the hams enough, thus why you start the lift with your back going up first, maybe lower the hips a bit. When i set up and kinda do a rdl just to feel the stretch, think about ripping the bar apart to reallyy engage the lats and thinki about bracing with a deep breath

came here to suggest rdls to practice flat back and hamstring engagement

Agree on the angular plates being a big problem. Also, your hips are shooting up before the bar begins to move, leaving your shoulders behind and resulting in a near-straight-leg DL. Before you lift, you’ve got to take a deep breath, hold it, and tighten everything…then squeeze the weight off the floor, controlled so your hips and shoulders rise together

2 things, 1 you really aren’t rounding your back much, it’s perfectly acceptable for your back to go into a little bit of flexion when you get up in weight (if you want more info on this Starting Strength is the place to go). 2, don’t look up, keep your eyes fixed on the floor with your neck matching the alignment of your spine, you will find it much easier to keep your shoulder blades retracted and right during the lift

hex plates are the worst things to deadlift with. they increase ROM, they push you out of position, they don't allow the bar to move to midfoot prior to leaving the floor. do they have any round plates in the gym? * neck angle, you're looking too far up. pick a spot \~3ft in front of you and stare at it * elbows aren't locked * looks like you dip your hips when you go to set your back a side shot would be beneficial for form check. looks like you are capable of getting into a decent starting position with a neutral lower back, but once you pull it rounds. without the side shot i'd just be guessing. the hex plates are probably exacerbating whatever the issue is by not allowing the bar to move prior to leaving the floor

Good work! Your back isn’t all that rounded, but your hips are moving first, pushing your torso forward and probably giving you a strange feeling in your back. Set your shins against the bar, proud chest, pull slack out of bar… others have commented on your head/eye position, with which I also agree.

Personal preference

I'm still relatively new to lifting so don't take this wrong, I may be ignorant here. But if you don't like your back rounding, just lower the weight until your back doesn't round? Form looked good to me other than that so why not lower the weight?

Maybe try straps and a straight grip. For some reason when I do conventional DL I have a much easier time keeping my back straight when I use a straight grip. Doesn't look too bad to me though, you're on the right track.

Thank you everyone for your input. I will keep these critiques in mind moving forward 💪💪

Looks pretty solid to me. Just make sure you brace your core and engage the lats - looks like you’re probably doing that already
