That is a beast lift, you get very low to the ground and your form is good. One thing i'd watch out and this probably only happened because you were maxing out is your knee position on the way up. Your knees are excellent on the way down, but then they bend inward when you are pushing on the way up. Keep those knees pointing outward and really use those glutes to push upwards. This was a hard concept for me to grab also, so I started training with a hip circle resistance band. I put it right above my knees and the band forces my knees inward, so I am actively pushing out against my the band to make sure my knees are outward and not in.
Hope that can be of some help.***Trance4Life Crew***

Your right sock wasn't pulled up as high as your left so I'm gonna have to give you a red.
Jk. Good smooth lift.

Well done man, keep it up.
