Deadlift form check... I think I need to raise my chest more at the beginning and squat down lower as well. Thoughts?

It's pretty good Nick... If you try pinning your shoulder blades back and down that helps bring your chest up. Careful not to arch your back to hard, Neutral spine is what were after, yours is pretty good.
This is my setup
1. approach the bar, place bar just behind the center of my foot
2. feet just inside my shoulders
3. Pin shoulders back and down (makes the chest poke out)
4. Breath into your balls and brace the core tight (when you breath in to brace the core your chest shouldn't rise up. You want the air in your gut)
5. bend down and let the bar just touch the shins
6. grab the bar exactly as my arms hang straight down (grip is on the inside edge of the knurling for me. Also why my feet are somewhat narrow. I don't want my arms dragging on my thighs)
7. pull the slack out of the bar, keeping as neutral of a spine as you can (the heavy shit is going to make your back round)
8. now rip the bar off the floor like your reclaiming Mjölnir
9. Straighten the knees while starting to bring your hips through (knees straighten and lock first)
10. bring the hips through
11. finish in a neutral position again (no hyperextension off the low back)
Anyway that's my setup, some if it may work for you some not so much. It's a hybrid between Elliot Hulse's corrective dead lifting and Richard Hawthorne's techniques.
Once I hit 500 conventional all this goes out the window and I start pulling Sumo or Eating Butt as Dom Mazzeti puts it:rofl:
