EXCELLENT JOB! You have a pretty strong back! My 2 cents...some of the things I've learned since powerlifitng: First movement is drop your butt. You seem to be using ALL back, and not your legs. Drop your butt down first, lean back (will feel like your gonna fall on your butt), than straighten and lift. Watch the video and watch your butt. It doesn't drop at all. Look slightly upward. You are either looking down or straight ahead. Looking slightly upward will help you keep your chest up. Lose the lifting straps. You will not develop a strong grip with the straps. YOU control the weight, don't let it control you. Hope some of that may help  |

I am not looking to compete or anything. I WAS JUST STOKED TO HAVE DONE IT! I didn't feel any stiffness in my back or anything. I will try to remember those things next attempt at 375 for 5 because i surely do not want to get hurt as well.. Thanks for the tips and reminders I appreciate it. Thanks everyone!!! |

No problem my friend.
You may also wish to consider adding "speed deads" to your regimen.
Use 25 lb plates (deeper stretch and pull)
Put two 25 lb plates on a bar. Lift (with good form) quickly and replace quickly.
Do 10 sets of 2 reps. Start with a 30 sec rest between sets. Then as you progress, lessen the rest time between sets, and slowly continue to add 25 lb plates until you reach 50% of your 1RM.
SERIOUS cardio WO!
It basically imprints and prepares your CNS for the deads.
For me, this one is a killer!
