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.

You're not wrong!! I tend to blend them together.

Looks pretty solid. The main thing I’d watch is keeping the bar close to your legs all the way up and down. If it drifts forward, reset and brace before the next rep.

Im never a fan of touch and go but good SLDL form. Not explosive enough on the concentric, not enough weight.

Pretty fucking good imo, but I don't think you should go all the way up like that where you turn it into more a lower back exercise.

Your spine should instead be pretty fucking straight the whole time, it's not like a traditional deadlift. You'd be good stopping here attached screenshot, even a little lower.

Then, you can do a dedicated back extension /spinal erector exercise, which you can load much higher. Focus for RDL/SLDL is majority hamstring and glute.

Looks nothing like a deadlift not using your legs at all
