DL check

So I told myself I'm getting 5 reps at 385, period. This is a heavy set for me, how terrible are they? Should I just blow the whole thing up and drop the weight?

Well damn. Sorry, hopefully it works now.

[Michael Wolf]

It does.

I wouldn't say they're terrible, but they need some work. More SQUOZE before each rep, better locking of your back in extension. And keep the bar on your legs the whole way up. However, the angle of the shot is pretty bad. A lot I can't see, including the bar's position relative to your feet and shins at the start, and the near side of the bar till it's a good way up. Read the sticky.

The dog looks pretty concerned

And we all know that we ignore the concerned look of man's best friend at our own peril.

Thanks for the feedback. She (the dog) was just trying to coach me up.
Coach I hopefully have a better video (390x5). I was trying to focus on chest up. Let me know what you think and thanks for your help and patience.

Better. But the two issues from the prior set are still present, albeit improved: bigger, harder squeeze into extension before each rep. And keep the bar ON YOUR LEGS. Actively pull it in when you're getting set up and don't let that active pull in go at any point during the pull.

this is one of the problems with over under grip, no?

It's commonly more challenging to manage with the mixed grip, but can be done.
