KInda hard to see from that angle but it looks like your hips are an afterthought.
Are you going down until you feel a stretch in the hams? Some of your reps look shallow, some a little deeper.
IDK, i’m no expert but it’s really hard to see at that angle.
Maybe others can comment.
I’m trying to re learn from before adding weight
From what I understand my trunk is moving way to much.
If I go lower I feel in my lats etc
Hard to tell for sure from this angle, but definitely looks like more of a lower back extension as opposed to a hinge movement.
This is a great video that will give a few drills with bands to really lock in the proper mechanics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GMARHqbD9rU&ab_channel=HighPerformanceMuscle
Another option for blasting the glutes/hams and limiting lower back being over-involved is to go unilateral with landmine variation. No other exercises have quite destroyed my hams like these.

You don’t seem locked in and your body is moving all over.
If your felling it in your lats your not tight and rounding your back.
Yeah that’s why I’m struggling
I’m looking for a personal trainer but the ones at my gym are fat or rude a hell
So why are you training at a place that is not welcoming.
It’s a 24h gym so you don’t have to interact with the staff

You’re locking out your knees in a strange way as you lower the bar. Knees locked like that takes the hamstrings out of the lift and puts all the tension on the lower back.
You just need to figure out how to hinge your hips back with bent knees.

Based on the video, it looks like you’re not pushing your hips back far enough and are trying to use your arms to hold the bar near your shins/legs. Bar path should be close to your legs naturally because you’re pushing your hips back/hinging rather than bending over.

New video help the audio any form tips
The angle on this one is much better.
A couple of things.
1.) Go slower on the decent, at least till you get your form right
2.) Tighten everything up. There’s a lot of wobble and sway going on. Your knees are bouncing, the bar is swinging. Tighten up your core, get a good brace and set your knees into a soft break
3.) i still don’t think you’re hinging enough. Think more about pushing your ass backwards than bending over. I saw a trick one time where RDLs were taught with a band around the hips going to an anchor behind the lifter to give them the proper feeling of hinging. This was done with the lifter using a broomstick/technique bar rather than a loaded barbell. The band “forced” the lifter’s hips back into the hinge and helped them learn the movement. i’ll see if i can find the video.

Here’s a link to a site with a video that can explain the use of a band to help with learning the hinge
