Background dude is not using his hips, either. At all.

I'd say there was a bit of lower back movement? It is on the later reps however so I presume this is just fatigue?

That how most people squat at this gym, it's unbelievable. About one in ten actually do something which resembles a squat.

It was noticed last night that on my 240 and 250kg deadlifts that I was curling my toes quite tightly.
Normally I wear socks but last night I forgot them so it was full bare feet for me, so I'm unsure if i normally do this or not!
Is this bad/common/fixable/not a worry?
My thoughts are that it must have meant I was on the back of my feet rather than my toes, as that would have hurt, which must be a good thing?

Does that mean you were curling them up or down?
If the force is going through the rear of your foot or around midfoot then that is fine, if it is going through the front of your foot it aint great. Do you lose position by leaning forward when you pull?

Curling them under, lifting the front of the foot.
Not losing position forwards, i sit back and pull so all the weight should be to the back of the foot.

Going to have a play with my deadlift form tonight. Want to see what happens when I start higher - as in the position I normally move into when the bar leaves the floor.

Haha, when I say under they curl rather than come off the floor upwards 
My right big toe doesnt curl at all due to a break some time ago that has fused it pretty much straight lol.
I have been trying a closer stance and grip this last few pulling sessions, so it could be related to that. I didn't notice it myself, and it didn't feel as if anything was wrong but the fact I did it made me think that it could be something somewhere being strange
I'll see about a vid next time
Have had a quick google and it appears a few sites advocate the curling of toes to help you get the weight to the back of the foot. Not heard or seen it before, so going to ignore them for now lol

Of course

I'm wondering if i did it subconsciously, knew it was heavy so told myself to get weight to the back and that was just my mental way of forcing it to happen. Hmm.

New form felt harder, but I think it looked better. Probably due to removing the initial move I normally do. Was thoroughly tired which made the weights feel heavier than they normally do.
