Been posting a lot recently about my deads so sorry bout that but I was wondering if anyone could give me some form advice. Thanks in advance for any help!
I been having the same problem dude, its a possibility of a couple things since your form looks pretty solid, 1 lack of glute loading/strength and 2 weak lats. Id say its probably the first. 2 Things i have been doing to help is pause/double pause deadlifts(youtube ben rice pause deadlifts) and paying attention to squeezing my glutes throughout the whole movement.
It doesnt look like your getting your back tight enough on the bar, get your chest up and pull the slack out. Youre stalling at the top because you are locking out with all lower back since your legs have completely locked out already. Take the extra 2 seconds to pull yourself into a tight position on the bar and engage by pushing the floor apart
Focus on pushing your hips through hard at the top. You’re trying to continue pulling the bar up and your shoulders back but all you have to do is finish with the hips. Keep your shoulders forward, pulling them back extends the motion and wastes energy.
Don’t know if it’s related to the lockout problems (I haven’t pulled sumo in a long time and was never an expert on the form anyway), but your left arm is consistently bending slightly when the bar passes the knees. Since it’s your supinated hand that instantly makes me worry about bicep tears. Just something to be careful about.

This.
Hypothetically, your hips and and knees should lock out at the same time. Your knees are locked before your hips, forcing you to stiff-leg the last part of the lift. You fix it just as cparker said. Get that chest up and spread the floor.
Thanks all! I’ll try to focus more on working on my posterior chain, getting my back set better and locking out knees and hips at the same time.
As you take your grip, use that to pull also pull the slack out and pull your chest up. While driving your hips forward into the bar, look at the way guys like belyaev, chris duffin, or pozdeev sumo and thats what you should strive to have your setup look like.

This is totally wrong. In a sumo deadlift, there is a drive with the legs followed by a push with the hips after locking the legs. The key is to have a proper starting position, which this lifter does poorly. Let me restate this, from a good starting position, the first thing is the drive with the legs and do a full push with the legs and the back angle does not change.
Then you push the hips into the bar to finish the lift. NO you do not push and pull back at the same time. In case you don’t believe me, feel free to look at the worlds greatest deadlifters:
