I'm sure you get these all the time, but I just realized that my form kind of sucks....
How bad is it?
Next time I'm going to drop the weight and start relearning proper form.

Back was rounded from the start.
Either lower weight or start with your hips in the high position. You start low adn then move your hips up all the way and finally break the bar. The bar shoulder break as you start the lift.
You are forcing all the load onto your back. You essentially did a SLDL variation. Your legs were nearly straight and you levered the weight up.
Stop wrenching your neck like that. It won't help you and can increase your chances for hyperextending your neck.
Your hips and knees should lock out at the same time.
Your 2nd rep I didn't even bother with. The only reason it left the ground was because you bounced the weights. If you let the weight deload and tried a new rep, you wouldn't have got it.
I'd suggest dropping weight and starting over.-

chazzy mentioned starting with the hips in the high position but it looks like you are having trouble keeping your lower back in an arch when they are in that position.
I personally would have said try dropping the hips slightly at the start to help maintain a full back arch and practice driving with your legs to initiate the start of the lifting of the weightTight lower back? Aching knees? Poor hip flexor mobility? Weak glutes?

Practice with a lighter barbell weight man, and nail form at least to suit your leverages.
-Hips rise wayyyy too early and this is putting too much pressure on the lumbar region, which when new to deadlifting can be dangerous.
-Bar path needs more improvement, you want to create the shortest possible bar path which is a straight line.
-Flexibility, your hips are incredibly tight it seems, foam roll or static stretch 3x a week on the hip flexors/piriformis/glutes/hamstrings
-Start hips slightly lower first, because that high isnt helping your leverages and centre of gravity~~~~~~~~~~

Yeah I actually have, sadly. In my head that's what I thought I was doing but I guess there was a disconnect somewhere, haha.
Will do.
Sadly I've been "deadlifting" for a while now, though I think my form wasn't as bad in the past but as I started going up in weight it gradually declined as I never had any lower back pain until recently.
Yeah I don't do much stretching so I probably should start. I can do that on off days right?
I'll keep all those points in mind when I try again next week.
Actually it's not too bad, but I've been having mild lower back pain for the past few weeks and I can see why
I'll be sure to post up another video when I go in next time.
In the past I've already reset my squat and relearned good form (confirmed), so hopefully I'll be able to do the same with deadlifts. It is frustrating though when you think you've been doing it right the whole time.I protest this fraud
