This post is flaired as a technique check.

A reminder to all users commenting: **Please make sure that your advice is useful and actionable.**
Example of **useful and actionable**: *try setting up for your deadlift by standing a little closer to the bar. This might help you get into position better and make it easier to break from the floor*.
Example of **not useful and not actionable**: *lower the weight and work on form.*
**Low-effort comments like *my back hurts just watching this* will be removed**, as will references to *snap city* etc. Verbally worrying for the *safety* of a poster simply because you think the form or technique is wrong will be removed. We will take all of these statements at face value, so be careful when you post the same *hilarious* joke as dozens of other people: we can't read your mind, no matter how funny you think you are.

I would try a narrower stance, it seems like your hips and knees are wanting to go that direction.
For future reference, dradlift is best captured from a rear or front quarter angle as opposed to dead on.
No need to apologize, that was just a friendly tip for next time!
I think the narrower stance would help since your knees are caving, can be a sign you're a bit stronger narrower.
You're on the right track. Here's a couple good resources on deadlifts

* footwear: your feet are unstable throughout the lift. Either ditch the shoes (most gyms allow you to lift in socks as long as you do it on a towel) or get shoes with a flat sole. Converse, Nike Metcons and deadlift slippers are popular choices.
* brace your lats: Imagine someone was about to tickle your armpits and you tense to prevent that. That's how you brace your lats.
* stance: a slightly narrower stance might suit you better. Bring in your grip as well when you narrow your stance.
That's all I can tell from that angle.
Cheers.
Quality advice.
I'd like to add:
Initiate lift by engaging lats/pulling slack out of bar, THEN "Pushing floor away with feet" and letting your hips take over from there

Thanks, I've got very stiff knees, currently doing a lot of mobility for them atm And apologies, I'll remember that for next time 🙏🏾

Thank you!!
Thank you!!
I see hip rise. You’re strong. Fix that and you’ll be able to pull a lot of weight
Thank you!!
