Grey haired guy had the best form IMO. I hate the way almost all of them are lowering the bar. Also many are using an overhand grip which sucks.

Pop,

Maybe setting the bar up a little farther forward and pulling back more with help?

Overhand grip is fine Thremp. Change to an alternate grip when grip strength becomes a limiting factor-- but until that point, best to develop grip strength via an overhand grip.

Yeah moving the bar up a bit might be a good idea.

Just went and checked out my form in front of a mirror, and comparing my deadlift to that video my torso starts out in a more upright position than anyone else is doing. If I start out bent over further that seems like it would help

Should be Knees>Hips>Shoulders. If you are normally sized and built they should be roughly equidistant from one another. If perhaps you have an amazingly strong lower back you can turn it into more of a SLDL, but whatever you do...

Good luck!
