Squat form looks good broski.
That dude on the pull downs is pretty terrible tho.
A little sub-maximal pulling...
[youtube]YhcJ4Szaxjk[/youtube]
Only 10 (12 if you count the 10s) plates though.

I want to take my camera to the gym but I dont lift anything worth videoing. May video next DL day for form assistance.
Erick is where I strive to be one day. Drewbie, solid squat form son!
You're still doing it wrong. I don't see any blood!

Ive got burst blood vessels in my wrists from rack pulls where my straps shredded me if that counts? :(
Ill DL in shorts next time and destroy my skin just for you, Chad <3
brb p!ss weak DL's but not giving a fuk because its a new stance and im weak anyway :P
How do you load up the bar when you do that much weight? Seriously. Do you just put a 45 on each side, set it on the ground, then put the remaining 45s on one side at a time?
i'll whoop erick's ass. i play real sports, i'm not trying to be the best at exercising.

I need to get some vids up so I can have my form judged because I feel like I judge too much. -.-
[QUOTE=drewbie57;752337273]Youtube Vid[/QUOTE]
On your bench press, the only thing I'd be wary of is leg drive as you have none, so you're losing quite a bit of power.
On your deadlift, you're breaking at the knees to early on the way down. Eric Cressey recommends waiting until the bar is past your knees then break. Also, don't move your head so much. Neck position has a lot to do with the rest of the spine.
I don't know if you've ever read it but you should read Eric Cressey's Mastering the Deadlift series. It's amazing. Tony Gentilcore's Much Ado About Deadlifting is a great article, too, and mentions neck position, something a lot of people don't talk about.
^Intrigued. Will find.

Squat looks good to me. Good depth.
Hopefully, your deadlift has changed, like you said. lol

I would lower the weight and practice form. Deadlifts look better.

I thought you squatted 565, you fooled me
Anyone feel like explaining what head position they use squatting and why?
I have always followed Mark Rippetoe for squat and his rec is to keep head in a neutral position, but I notice elitefts and other seem to have folks looking up.

Looking at the ground 10 feet in front of me. I squat with a low bar and do it because Rippetoe told me too :p. Actually, I do it because it is more comfortable since my chest is not raised as high as those who do high bar squats and so I make sure and use proper hip drive. The main thing I focus on is to keep my back from rounding.

I tried doing lowbar with a guy who had gone to a few ss seminars and for some reason my hands turned dead-white and the positioning was VERY painful. Very bizarre. So, I high bar but still keep head neutral.

I use a packed neck position which has been popularized by Charlie Weingroff. Rippetoe does note that having a neck up loses hip drive and I tend to agree. It's also not good for the spine as you're extending your cervical spine. You wouldn't do that with your thoracic or lumbar, so I feel that the logic also applies for the cervical spine. If you want to read more then check this out (I've done all this before so I apologize to other NutMiscers): [url]http://charlieweingroff.com/2010/11/packing-in-the-neck/[/url]
Here's Tony Gentilcore with a packed neck (notice how he forces a double chin? That's a packed neck essentially):

In this article ([url]http://robertsontrainingsystems.com/blog/coaching-neutral-neck/[/url]), Mike Robertson shows how Ed Coan and Brad Gillingham squatting with a neutral neck and he talks about a neutral neck.
If you read the first article by Charlie I linked then he talks about why people look up.
Cliff:
- I use a reinforced neutral neck position
- This is because the neck also links to other places in the spine
