I can't seem to keep a straight back and lift it up at the same time

Try lowering the weight.
Lower the weight
Find a point slightly above your eye level and focus there
Breathe in before going up
Keep your hips high, keep your chest up at all times, use low weight to nail the form down
It's easy mam
you got weak ass hamstrings that dont stretch and your hamstrings and glutes dont want to take a load cos they're weak, so your lower back does it all
dont deadlift for a couple weeks. do a ton of (VERY STRICT - MEANING NO BEND IN THE BACK WHATSOEVER) romanian deadlifts.
Strengthen your hamstrings also with leg curls, both seated and lying. And DO BARBELL HIP THRUSTS (bridges are fine too). Get your glutes activated and strengthened.
In your back workout try and really focus the upper back and dont work the lower back too much. if you find your lower back is straining during an exercise, find an alternative.
Do this for like a month and you'll have perfect deadlift form
There is no science behind it and its simple no matter how gay it sounds. Don't bend your knees and stick your ass back as far as possible as if someone was going to doggystyle you

Is it possible to be too tall to deadlift?
6'4 here

192cm and DL is my favourite lift so no.
Valsalva, engage lats and lift with your chest.

Well shit
I wanna do them and I did like 20 of them today but I know my form was all off
I can't seem to figure out how to do it with a straight back, its not even a strength thing its like I don't know how to make the motion
It feels like trying to use chopsticks to eat its just like "what"

when you grab the bar.. sit down mate, then scrape those shins
>>37997166
one hand on low back (pinky and thumb should feel your spine), one hand on abs. practice bending at the hips without bending your low back by sticking your but out. ignore the erectors tightening.
repeat for a half dozen reps every time you squat or deadlift.

Eating with chopsticks is also easy

If you have long arms it can actually be easier because your ROM is less (than say someone with short arms and long legs).
