I think that's awesome. I would want to be your size one day, I too am right between 5-8 and 5-9, @ 175
Thanks guys, not bad for a bodybuilder I guess.
I want to work on the single max thing more though, I grew up looking at pics of Franco Columbo deadlifting 700+, I wont stop until I get there.
The plates in my gym suck though, those yuppie, plastic wrapped, octagon shaped pieces of crap, when you set the bar down between reps, it rolls to the flat spot and throws off your centre of gravity. Plus, they don't make any noise when they crash together during a really heavy set, I miss that sound!

I can only tell so much from a picture. Wait wait...first...let me say heck of a job!!!!!!!!!
Now...I can only tell so much from a picture...but this is what I see from looking at the first 575 pic.
You are not pushing out with your abs. You look like you are tucking them in. Push out man!!!
Your shoulders appear to be in front of the bar. They have got to be behind the bar man!!!
Your knees are pointing outwards. Keep them fwd. When your knees move outward from a conventional stance...you lose speed. Once you pull from the floor...you want to get mad acceleration.
You should be trying to pull back not up.
You need some flat sole shoes...Chucks!!!!!
Once again...one heck of a job, and I wish I could see a video of that or direct side pics of your lift.

B Fold, thanks for the advice. When pulling, I normally concentrate on keeping my hips down so my back doesn't round out, anything beyond that is gravy. I start with the bar touching my shins, and my hips as low as I can get them, so that when I pull I'm pulling back, and try to drag the bar up my shins to keep my centre of gravity close.
Not having gone for a max in years made it difficult to concentrate on form, but I'm going to incorporate more of it into my training from now on. I would like to video my deads and squats to watch my form.

There is no need to set the bar close to your shins. Seriously...no need at all. No need to drop your hips lower either...makes it harder actually.
