Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below I hit 530 last night...i was training with a guy who turned out to be a strength coach and pointed out i was using a form more related to a stiff legged lift or row to get the weight up...i wont call this a max though, because with my ass to the floor and shoulders back and done correctly, i got it up good...not to mention people watching me...i have found that you can second guess yourself...but once you commit, you have to commit totally....maybe i should have thought about that before my divorce...hmmmm....
My new PR on deads....

thanks bros...i am getting there...if there is a there...here was what i was doing wrong....
I started the lift to far away from the bar, he had me roll the weights to myshins, throw my straps away from my body, he sees no sense in them, he said they do not allow your grip to naturally roll with the movement and if you have problems, you are locked into the bar and could injur yourself...anyways...he had me lock my grip over on my stronger arm and under on my weaker arm to offset the strength imbalance if you get my meaning...and cram my ass as low as possible while keeping a slight arch in my back and my shoulder pushed back, thus the reason he said i should always stretch first.....and then take some deep breaths and squeeze the bar as if to crush it, drive as straight up as possible with the quads and run the bar up the shin, or as close as possible, while trying to maintain the arch and or shoulders back, and when i approached the knee area, exhale and drive while squeezing the shoulder blades together which helps you to lock out you back and legs at the same time...he said what my original motions looked like, i was decent on form until fatigue started to set in, and then he said i was using more of a bent over lift which could also hurt my back, and after i trained with him for the night on them, my back does not hurt at all and i am able to squat tonight...
he also mentioned, that if you feel you are fatigued on reps and can not do them with correct form, instead of doin 2 or 3 reps like crap, go up in weight and do 2 good ones and condition your body for the heavier weight...
