Please Criticise my Sqaut/Deadlift/Bench

dead looks fine to me, I pulled all the way to the 7's with that form (and worse!)

I like bigT's basedow analogy, when it comes to advice you need to look at who's giving it - someone doing textbook reps with 225 will have very different technique (and light years less development) from someone grunting up 600+

Many other people have said & I agree that doing paused box squats are pretty dang good for Deadlift. Especially if you use a really low, paused, sit-back box squat with as much weight as you can handle, that depth & that pause really transfer over to the Deadlift. When you set up the DL, after practicing strict box squat, it really seems pretty easy to maintain the right form for DL. At least it was for me until the past month or so when everything's gone to pot for whatever reason.


BTW, I just saw an internet video that featured a few seconds of Ed Coan DL-ing some godawful enormous amount, presumably 850+ or maybe 900. It was freaky as hell. The film is from the front, but his form for that pull looks actually a little worse than your own Deadlift! Coan's ass came up quite a ways and I was actually stunned when he proceeded to continue pulling that bad boy in a quarter-squat SLDL to lockout! Almost anyone else on earth tries that, they snap their spine & collapse in a twitching heap.

I second that.
My form was pretty much RDL every time I deadlifted back then. I just stop deadlifting altogether and did as much squat variations as possible. Then I went back to dl'ing after 3-4 months and started it up again with lower weights. Felt much, much easier to "sit back" on my deadlift now without losing my balance and falling back.
