Well a couple of things I notice in those comments. At no time should your relax your body or let the weight "drop". It should be tight and under control at all times. This could actually change the lift a bunch because letting you body relax could mean relaxing the lower back and others putting you at a disadvantage and forcing you to adopt a form that is less than effective if not outright bad.

It almost sounds like you have halves to the lift and perhaps your shoulders are dropping/coming forward at the beginning of the lift where you "push with the feet" and then you finish the lift as basically a goodmorning. That would mean that your hips rise first while your shouders don't and then it's finished using lower back flexion. Not good. I'm not sure if that is what you are saying of course it's just what it sounds like. If it is so it would be a pretty typical and common problem.

If this is what is happening I have another post I can refer you to. But in any case try the change I suggested above.

Again, I can't really say exactly what might be happening to your feet. This kind of problem tends to have a chain connected to it meaning you could trace a line of imbalances all the way up from the feet to the shoulders or vice versa.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
