    Follow up form check. I added hook grip and dropped to 275 from 285. Tried to set up over shoelaces, hold the extension longer before lifting, and stand up tall. I think they look better. They felt better and strong. My poor thumbs are still asleep though! Still need to buy chalk and tape for my thumbs. planning to go to 285 next workout. Appreciate any feedback.

    I had 2 problems with grip when I got to the exact same weight (285).
    1) the bar at my gym had very smooth knurling
    2) CHALK

    When I addressed both (bought a good bar and do them at home) my deadlifts climbed to 315 pretty quickly.

    Best wishes,

    Pretty solid. The lockout could use a little work. You are leaning back a tad too much and the knees look a little soft. Think about standing up as tall as possible - should fix both of those things
