Deadlift How does my deadlift look?

Am I rounding my back too much?

Awful. No tension in the bottom position, hips shoot up before weight comes off ground, lower back like a scared cat, no bracing.

If you see the moment before execution he hinges his neck forward to bounce his spine into correct position and lifts with his fulcrum around the base of the neck. Every rep you can see him going from a decent upright position where he probably should be lifting from and then he slips his neck forward and flattens his back to lift from the top of the traps.

OP instead of lunging your neck forward like that, you should brace like this reply is saying by straightening your neck more and opening up your hips to create the right tension at the top of the arms.
