I’m just coming off rugby season and some back injuries, so I’m trying to work my way back up to perfect form. Any critique or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Height: 6’1"

you jerk it off the ground. ease into the pull.
get behind the bar
arch harder
edit:
try to do this
Few ideas:
- Pull the slack out of the bar - wasn’t 100% sure if you were or not based on the angle, but it looks like there was a bit left in the bar.
- Focus on maintaining one lower back/butt position during your setup.
- Personally, I would try to move my shoulders back a bit so they’re not so far out in front of the bar - however, I am a midget in comparison to you, so our setups may be a bit different.
- I would try to be significantly more upright pre-pull.
Hope this helps!
Forget all that technical advice garbage. The real problem is the music at your gym, its draining your strength.
Those are bounced deadlifts, you obviously have decent form yet I would stop bouncing it unless your goal is constant tension on erectors.
I think when you jerk like that in a sumo pull you take alot of your legs out of the equation. Get tight create tension all over and explode up. I hate bouncy deadlifts. It puts your body in a position that isnt your actual starting position. I believe its called a deadlift for a reason. But all in all your form looks pretty good.
Jlabs is right. I cant speak on sumo form, but what has really helped my deadlift is dropping my training max enough that I can pull with good form explosively, for me that’s making sure its a hip hinge using the glutes, hams, upper back and not some squat hybrid with too much low back. You gotta get rid of that bounce, your just not doing as much work as you should be and it will show when you try and pull heavy.
also I think some one else said pull the slack out of the bar, if your gym is like mine and just has multipurpose bars you gotta pull that slack out.
