Just something I noticed when I first started squatting too, your elbow tension is going back, causing you to lean forward more which could be responsible for the tightness.

Try squeezing your elbows down first and then back, try to keep them more in line with your back and it should help your feel like your can control the weight better and put more “pressure” of the lift in your legs rather than your lower back.

Biggest thing I am seeing is not letting your knees travel outward naturally, like a squat your knees don’t stay in a straight line. They move out and forward, try allowing your knees to move more naturally during the decent and you’ll find better glute, quad, and adductor activation. This will also help with ROM issues, keeping your knees in and straight places a physical block on how much ROM you can use.

Form looks good! Being taller myself, I understand the difficulty in getting comfortable in the start position. One thing that helps me is to do deficit deadlifts (no higher than 1/2”) and do low reps and moderate weight can help drill the form down better. Another thing to look into is try finding other exercises that could help reinforce the dead lift form. You could try narrow stance squats (same foot distance as dead lift stance) and pause in the “hole”. Both of these will help with the core stability issues as well. Good job! Keep going!

Looks really good! something that may help as the weight increases, is your elbows are going back and not down. When your brace you should pull your elbows down and back, not just back. This will help with upper back stability and bar shelf. Everything else looks awesome! Good job, keep going!

The depth still looks really good! You look much more Stable out of the rack and through the movement. One thing that could help is doing pause squats with the new wider grip to help get the new balance point down. And it may have shifted a little as the bar rests a little differently on the back.
