OK putfile seems to be working now. Here's the 395x3 clip w/ the 415xfail at the end:

Somewhat amusing story: the batteries on my cam died afeter the triple w/ 395, so I did two triples w/ 415, then borrowed the remote to one of the TVs in the gym and swapped batteries to get my second clip. Maybe the miss was instant karma

435x3 last week of my first 5x5. I did 405x3 my last week of HST w/ no straps (and after having done the rest of the workout first). But I'm trying to get away from the mixed grip - anything that may hurt my back is something I'm trying to avoid.

So what happened, you did 3 sets of 2 reps @ 415, then tried for a 4th and missed?
I don't see any glaring problems with your form, even on your miss. Also, that's kind of how my 500 attempt looked, got it almost to my knees but my back wasn't as straight as yours so I bailed out. That's when I decided to do some RDL's this training cycle.

Jim:
When I write "415x3x2" It means I did 415 for three reps, twice. Kinda screwy I guess but to me it makes the most sense. So, I did two triples w/ 415, and bombed the next set right away.
One thing worth mentioning - before my 'form tweak' I NEVER missed a rep if I got it as high as the one I missed in the vid (and yeah I know, it still wasn't that high). I'd literally get the rep, or not even pull it two inches. FWIW I think I coulda done another set, but I just didn't explode off the floor and had to bail.

Oh you're using the Russian sets and reps convention 
I have a friend who tried 435 and got it about that high with rounded back and he just 'grinded' it up, in fact I think he quadrupal pulled it lol. But I've seen this guy do SLDL with 365 that makes me cringe.
Anyway, I figure it'll all pay off in the long run. EDIT: Pay off for you I mean, not my friend
