The deadlift built to mirror your clean setup.
Keep your back angle constant off the floor, let the legs do the early work.
The clean deadlift starts with hips set lower and chest taller than a conventional pull, mirroring the setup of the clean, and the slower controlled pace loads the hamstrings and glutes through the exact positions you hit off the floor. Keeping the back angle constant early forces the legs to do the initial work while the posterior chain finishes the drive to lockout. It earns its place for lifters who want a stronger, more consistent first pull, or anyone who wants a deadlift variation with more leg drive.
The setup. A clean deadlift uses lower hips, a more upright torso and a shoulder-width grip to copy the clean's start position, and it is usually pulled slower and lighter to groove those positions rather than to max out.
No, but they are still useful. The lower hip position builds leg drive off the floor and hammers the hamstrings and glutes through a long range, so they work fine as a general posterior chain builder.
The weight is probably too heavy or your hips are shooting up early. Lighten the bar, push the floor away with your legs, and think about keeping your chest and hips rising at the same rate until the bar passes your knees.
