    I don't know why I just feel more strong and more comfortable raising my butt higher. I wouldn't call it SLeg deadlift (yet). My torso would be around 20 at most 30 degree(maybe less) to parallel when starting the pull.
    I don't have clip right now.

    Just be honest: was it a good rep, was it a good set, was it a good work out, did it truly satisfyingly felt like a PB?

    I find emulating lamar gant the best with his overly exagerated outward feet position.  It makes us explosively jump, ala olympic pull, on conventional deadlifts.  But it takes awhile to get how one balances in executing the lift.

    Back angle will depend on the person. My hamstrings aren't at full stretch unless my back angle is relatively flat so obviously this is my strongest position. It doesn't matter for deadlifting. Oly lifting....now that's another matter.

    You should be more carefully about maintaining the low-back arch.
    I guess thats all.

    It's quite personal thing the angle, usually when people develop flexibility they can maintain and do better angles as hamstring flexibility increases. Some people can naturally maintain better angle than others. But in my experience everybody can maintain good form with quite a little flexibility when keeping the simple deadlift rules in mind.
