Do you think there's something wrong with your form? I don't see any obvious problems. For a few general sumo tips, this Dan Green video is pretty good.

Edit: I'm not allowed to post links yet cause I don't have 50 posts, but if you search youtube for "dan green sumo deadlift" it'll be the first hit, "JTSstrength.com-3 Common Mistakes in the Sumo Deadlift with Dan Green"

Don't get your hips so low, get them little bit higher. And try to keep bar as close to your body as you can. But it looks quite nice, if you ask me!

thats some hip flexibility...

but anyway...
onlyiest problem i see is you are making it like 95% a leg lift... some people this works but MOST people will get more weight up involving their back more.. generally lifting with hips this low works for short, stocky legs like Dan Green, Henry Thomason


IF YOU are going to try utilizing your back more... start lighter than u generally work... and do accessory movements focusing on core strength and hamstrings
