Overall not bad. Definitely lose the straps as they hinder grip development. Second arch your back and pull air in your belly to keep your body tight and rigid. This will drastically reduce the chances of injury. As far as bar placement at the start it will vary from person to person. Find a comfortable spot for you. But make sure your shoulders stay behind the bar. Try to get hips a little lower and use more leg drive off the floor. When you get to your knees instead of pulling back, drive your hips forward and squeeze your ass to finish.

^^^^^Good advice, although I disagree with bar placement. The closer it is, the more leg drive will move the weight. The further away, the more lower back will move the weight.

Yes the hips and glutes are essential for locking out big dead lifts.

Form isn't bad, but just a few pointers...

Ditch the straps of course.

Think of the movement as a leg press until the bar passes your knees, then focus on pulling back. You seem to be focusing on pulling when you should still be pushing.

If you are wearing shorts, there should be blood on your shins. The closer the bar is to your shins, the more control you have over the weight.
