You need to think about squatting between your legs - if you can figure it out, your butt won't be as far back, and you'll be able to keep your back flatter, deeper.
I've been experimenting with the groove as I pull myself down. I was thinking further back on the "clock" for this session, with more upper body lean.
Here's some goblet squats from just now:
I think I see the same thing you're talking about where my hips start to go under.
Another two reps after watching those. Are these better, or is the descent
too vertical?
You look like you're holding the bar in the hooks of your fingers
This is interesting, because this cycle I'm
specifically focusing on gripping the bar deeper in my hands, and I'm definitely weaker there. It used to be an inch further down my fingers, and that grip was strong and getting stronger before I realized its different from what I see others do. When I noticed I do this, it reminded me of a video I saw of Russel Orhii, where his coach mentions how low in his fingers he grips his deadlifts, but it works for him. I'm not justifying my bad technique with an elite athlete example, just noticing a similar thing haha.
So in these videos, the first segment of my finger, just off my hand, is bearing the load of the bar. Do I want to actually have my callous line under the bar? (My grip is stronger then the bar rests in the crease between first and second segment of fingers almost how I swing a kettlebell, I probably have larger than average hands).
I'm not letting double overhand limit by deadlift, it just happened on that week of my progression I was able to hit them all. I will keep adding 10 pounds a week. I'll keep this in mind and try to grip even deeper, and I felt like this past week was my last "double overhand" session, so my top set will be with mixed grip from here on out.
You need some weight on the bar
Dang, is that a suggestion or a burn?
I'm lifting 89% of my conventional DL tested max from last summer at sf barbell course and I'm just getting going this cycle. Probably around 75-78% of current predicted max and still early on a long linear progression. But I hear ya
