I'm a noob when it comes to deadlifting, I've only tried it a few times. But I know how important of a lift it is so I'm trying to learn. I'm using the hex bar because I've heard its easier for beginners. It's hard to tell if I'm doing it right so I need your help! I feel like I'm doing something wrong, feels a lot like a squat. I want to master the form before i start adding more weight on.

I actually don't see anything wrong with your form at all. There's no rounding of your lower back, and you're getting into position properly with bent knees and getting close to the ground. The motion looks nice and fluid too. Obviously it will change when you increase the weight, but you are on track now bro! Check out my video below if you haven't seen it yet as well so you can compare your form to mine.
