    Hey man,

    Not bad. I'll leave the technical stuff for more experienced people. but I will say this:
    1) don't bounce your deadlifts. You only did so on a couple
    2) why are you strapping with 285? Do you double overhand your warmups to work on grip? Have you tried the hook? Chalk? just curious.
    3) eat more sammiches and drink yer milk

    Bring the bar a bit closer to your shins when you set up and return it to the same position between reps.
    Get your back into better extension and keep it that way when you pull.

    Follow, exactly, the 5-step deadlift setup procedure. You also need to narrow your stance a little bit.

    Hey thanks alot man. I'll try to lower the bar properly next time and I just did double hook grip with the same weight and it was straining my thumb badly and I felt like my trap was getting pulled. Anyways, I'm trying to eat alot now. Once again, thanks alot bro!
