You're just in a bit of a hurry and you're starting your second pull way down at the knees - you have to wait much longer for it. Do that and you'll be far better balanced and quicker.

Greg, just wondering if you could confirm if what I said above is accurate or not? I'm still learning...

Much better - obviously a bit inconsistent rep to rep, but you have the basic idea down, just need some practice.

thanks greg! i've really been working on my halting deadlift and segmented cleans all last week. Keeping the weights really light to ingrain the movement patterns correctly.
Do you see any small tweaks i can do to tighten it up even more? |

Quicker pull under. Your arms are a bit stiff during the pull and then your elbows come back instead of up and out as you start under the bar. Punch the legs and hips up together and immediately move the feet out and pull yourself down to the bar with the elbows high and out. That will keep you close to the bar and allow you to spin the elbows around as fast as possible. Otherwise, just getting your balance consistent.
