It's cool that you're really motivated to get stronger, but you should not let the mentality take precidence over form. I would get your form absolutely dialed in--it's extremely important especially in exercises like the deadlift. Your 275 wasn't so hot and your 315 honestly could have sent you to a doctor or chiropractor.

Work on getting your form impeccable, then add weight slowly over time. Adding weight too quickly is a recipe for failure. People don't realize that adding 2 lbs every week doesn't seem like a lot, but in 4 years you will have added over 400 lbs to your deadlift (assuming you're performing the necessary accessory work after you've passed around the 350 lb mark if not before). Tell me you wouldn't be happy with a 600 lb textbook-perfect-form deadlift in the next few years. You would be light years ahead of 98% of the training community.

you really have some nice equipment there man.....

your parents much give u alot of money to buy all the stuff eg, brand new olympic bar and weights, sled, farmer thingies, not to mention that sweet arse camera. And im guessing you are still at school so your parents must give u heaps. More than i can say about mine .

form needs work i know, i'll type out a reply to clints original post when i get home from school.

as for my parents giving me things...its not quite like that, they don't really like the whole idea of lifting and strongman because they say it consumes me. I worked to buy most of my equipment, whatever money i have\earn goes towards this stuff. Whenever my birthday\christmas comes around i get plates or something. It was all bought in stages mostly with my own money. The camera is my parents and I use it.

I really enjoyed the vids...looks like you're a pretty young guy, good for you for springing for your own equipment. You tend to appreciate it a lot more that way!

Anyhow, as far as your deads go...it looked like you were locking out your legs too early. I could be wrong, but I watched it a few times in a row, just to see what I could pick up. Something looked off about it and I was wondering how you felt the next 1-3 days after...so how do you feel? Sore at all?

How do your shoes feel? Are they comfortable to work out in?
