Deadlifts with chains

First time using chains with my deadlifts. I had them waaaay to close to the collars on my first set so the plates kept hitting them. Moved them in for the rest of my sets and I feel pretty good about how they look.

These look pretty good.
One thing to think about for your next deadlift, keep a little more outward pressure on your feet as you break the floor. Your knees aren’t collapsing in these sets, but we saw on the heavier sets that you have an inclination to do that. On the lighter sets, keep a little more lateral pressure to keep to feet planted and to get the glutes to fire right off the floor instead of only after you clear your knees.

Would this be a similar cue to keeping tension in the knees and feet during a squat? Like giving my feet a slight twist to make them more active?

Exactly.
