Hi everyone.
I wanted to get your thoughts on this guy's deadlift technique.

In my opinion:
- his legs are too wide
- his a#@ is too low - it's like a squat, not a deadlift
- on the way down the bar does not move in a straight line. It moves forward in front of his knees as it passes them. I'd be curious to see how he handles it with a bigger load.
- there is no discernible "two parts" to his motion (part 1 would be before the knees, and part 2 would be after the knees).
"don't put your weight over the bar". Well, don't put it behind the bar either. Otherwise you'll be pulling the bar directly into your shins. Not pleasant.
