My first change when I failed a set of 5 was to move to 2 triples: Third Time's a Charm. It worked fine for about 6 weeks, but ultimately the stress...

Bodyweight? I'm 5'11" and currently 245 pounds. I've been gaining roughly 2 pounds per month for the last few months, though not really trying to. I...

Form looks nice and crisp. Good job. I notice your head is pointing down on deadlift instead of 12-15 feet in front. Might help to establish and...

Speed up the pace between reps. A set of 5 should take no more than 30 seconds or so. These are really hard to watch.

There are better ways to shorten your workouts than cutting rest time short. Definitely make sure you're getting adequate rest between heavy sets....
