I don't think I'll be pulling 2xbw but 340ish is realistic...

recovery is getting better conditioning wise, didnt have to rest as long as usual between circuits but to be honest I was pretty mentally drained after the deadlifts because even though you may not be able to tell from the video but I got so focused and psyched for the set with 341 I just started to feel like a vegetable afterwards lol. I went through the lift so many times in my head this week. Now I watched the video back I think it looks like I was good for a little more...

Anyway its a crappy angle but the best I could get at the time, there were 3 plates per side and a few of the little plates. The video is here: http://www.elitefitness.com/forum/weight-training-weight-lifting/deadlift-pr-video-741719.html

I always look really skinny in the videos I've taken of my lifting...

You don't look skinny, you can definitely tell you got some build beneath that baggy shirt. I could you got physced up, you act similiar to I do before a PR attempt.
