A guy in the gym let me use some of his chalk. MAJOR improvement!

Blurring is intentional
it says the video is private.

Looks ok for the most part, although the tiny blurred video makes it hard to be sure. A few nitpick comments:
1. At the start of each rep, your hips rise without any movement of the bar. This means your initial setup isn't quite right - this video shows an easy way to setup correctly.
2. Tiny bit of back rounding which you can see by pausing the video when the bar is off the floor but still below the knees. Not a huge concern and it might be fixed by getting the proper starting position (see #1), but you should look into it and figure out if it's a form weakness (not consciously staying in full extension) or a flexibility limitation.
3. Very tough to tell w/ blurriness, but it looks like you are looking straight/up. This results in an odd neck angle and is not safe. Instead, look at a point on the floor 6-10 feet in front of you so your neck stays flat rather than curved.

Thanks for the above analysis.
Guess I have to start with the hips a bit higher to fix the premature hip rise. But I'm already stretching to my limit so it may also be due to my tight hamstrings. Have been working on fixing them with hip mobility exercises (stronglifts) but so far they've done very little to help
Also, what exactly does it mean to "squeeze the chest up"? Is it that I should try to puff my chest out or is it that I should literally try to move/stretch it up towards the ceiling?
Did 4 minutes of Tabata deadlifts today and managed to get 56 reps with 225lbs. I also did 135x5 and 225x5 during warm-up for a total of 14400lbs.
