Of the main lifts, my deadlift is my weakest. My deadlift is my weakest exercise because i don't have enough frequency in my program. I've been too focused on squats because i've been spending so much time getting my technique down. So with that, i've been studying deadlift form through youtube and some books.
I've also been practicing with just a bar at my house when im high as shit to focus on activating each muscle. I have the bar set up on some books to make sure its at proper height. Today i pulled 315 to test my form. I know my posture is good and i have good control over my back, but i feel that my hips are too high. I have a very hard time dropping my hips, and i think this video is a good example of my hips being too high. Mind you i still feel very powerful in this position, but i feel if i dropped my hips lower, i could have better quad activation off the floor.
Can i get some opinions brehs?

Your hips are about right, if you bring them lower its going to be more like a squat rather than a true deadlift

For deadlift sit so much into your heels that if there wasn't x lbs/kgs in front of you you would fall over (but don't let that throw off your form) the weight is so much more than your own bodyweight pulling you forwards you aren't going to fall.
Also drop your ass lower, too many people (especially guys) have too tight of hips. This makes their glutes, hips, and lower back take a lot of the load that could (and should be taken) by their hammies.
Word of advice I wish I followed: go double overhand until you physically can't THEN go switch grip. Also alternate your switch grips.
Fuck straps, don't be a pussy and use chalk. You aren't deadlifting bigboy weight so don't be small and a pussy. Earn your grip strength. And after you're done deadlifting, train your grip even more bitch.
A-Are those running shoes?
Whats the bodyweight only equivalent to a deadlift goys

There is no replacing the king of lifts. If there was only one lift it would be diddlys. Bodyweight faggots cannot fake it. Why don't you just stop wasting your life already and lift?
