That last tip helps out a lot. I was having a hard time trying to figure out how to push my glutes back further without allowing my my knees to bend even further. Turns out sit back is different than lean back. I went through my starting strength book, and the author mentions, during the deadlift, to try to have your scapula in line with the middle of your foot. I practiced today with that in mind, and pinching the coin at the top, and I felt so much more force and power. The bell literally felt like it lifted itself up top and floated at face level then dropped back into position.
