Wow! Your overall coordination looked 10x better on those. I would call that a pretty acceptable deadlift.

Definately a large improvement.

It seems at the start of the lift you are positioned right and then you drive your hips/ass up which puts you right back to where you don't want to be.

Don't say that. Eric might kill you. lol

You will definately have more lower back movement in a deadlift as compared to a back squat.

Well I don't mean to turn it into a front hack squat. But your upper body should not be paralell to the floor. This places huge stress on the back and pretty much takes the legs out of the equation....

I think you took it the wrong way. You're making your lower body more vertical. Bend your knees more and bring your *torso* closer to vertical. "Sit" into it more and get your butt down. Notice how...

I agree. You may not think you have it but you probably do. When I first started I went from 135lb 3x5 bench to 200lb 3x5 in 4 months. Just keep moving up once a week so long as you don't miss.
