So much for working the deadlift back up...

The positioning is better on deads. Better reps. Again, I wonder if you are trying to keep your knees behind the bar. Don't. You have longish shins from what I can see so your knees are going to end up over the bar. If you try to keep them back then you put the hips back. But what you want is to keep the hips as close to the bar as possible. That will bring your chest/ back angle up so that your chest is higher than your butt. It's not about butt up butt down although that can be a good queue (you are beyond that) It's about following the setup points and that will produce the proper geometry. So we're talking subtle points of position not gross body qeues like do this or that with your butt.

1. Bar close in or touching shins.
2. Back arched and chest up
3. Shoulders forward of bar
4. Hips close to bar with bar lined up with scapula

Heres a trick. Although I said you don't need backoffs...

After you finish your next dead workout put 50 percent of max on the bar. You will use this to do some doubles or triples to get your positioning more dialed in..NO high reps.

This way you will be using a weight that you can get perfect form on but you will be a bit tired so that you can really feel when you get that perfect setup. And you should be able to feel that.

On the bulgarians you still have a forward torso. Still. You shouldn't raise the weight until you can get the torso up. Also you should work on getting a little bit more ROM..go a little lower...before raising the weights. If you want to separate it into lower rep sets do that if it will help you get it down.

You can rest before doing the static on the GHR's...so that you can get the most out of it. Once you get more time on it then you can go back to trying it straight at the end. This is not DC stuff where you just want to add work. The idea is actually to increase local musular endurance.

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