    My gym hasn't got round plates, which is incredibly annoying. Sometimes I have to do a a couple of resets during the 1x5 to get the barbell in a good position.

    looks to me like your feet are too wide. It appears that you have the bar in front of midfoot. On a few of the reps you move the bar away from you before the pull.

    agreed on all. You could also squeeze your chest up more before you pull.

    Agree about the feet and will also add that since the feet are too wide the grip is also too wide. Bring both your feet and your hands in, film, repost, recycle

    Thanks guys, last workout I focused on keeping my feet closer and squeezing my chest harder. I think I found my midfoot too since the reps felt easier - though I did drive the bar into my shin during a re-adjustment. Damn hexagonal plates.

    I'll post a vid soon. But all in all, no major form errors right?

    Edit: oh boy, what is that guy doing in the background in the smith machine
