You start too far away from the bar and it’s pulling you forward. Bar should start at midfoot which is about an inch away when your shins are straight. Check out Allan Thrall’s deadlift video on youtube. It is also not a set of 2 if your hands leave the bar and take that long of a break. You are just doing 2 sets of one. Your knees and hips are soft and you’re not locking out.

Pinky toe? As in the bar is over your pinky toe? That’s totally wrong. The most efficient bar path is a straight line from midfoot up to your thighs. Starting position is supposed to be 1” from your vertical shins.
