Kind of played things by feel today, and was focused on tweaking my deadlift set-up. I videoed a lot of the sets along the way and used those to make adjustments as I went. I very quickly refined the set-up to get my shoulders directly over the bar. From there I worked on finding a starting position for my hips. My focus here was on: 1) Hips below shoulders (#MarkBell). 2) Hamstrings feeling tight. 3) Hamstrings being low enough to accomplish 1. and 2., but not so low that they shoot up before the bar leaves the floor. And finally 4) Bottom Position on subsequent reps being the same as on the first rep.
Here's a video of a set with 275 where I felt like I got it dialed in (I forgot to video my sets at 365 and 315, dammit):
Then I decided to see if I could keep the same feeling with deficits. I hit my biggest deadlift numbers using deficits for additional volume, but I also suspect that's where I started to develop bad habits on my set-up. Here's a video of a deficit set where I'm dialing in the same 4 points above:
