Squats were good but all I could see was that atrocious lat pull. LOL.

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?
Man tries to make for himself in the fashion that suits him best a simplified picture of the world; he then tries to substitute this cosmos of his for the world of experience, thus to overcome it. This is what the painter, the poet, the philosopher, and the scientist do, each in his own fashion. Each makes this cosmos and its construction the pivot of his emotional life, in order to find in this way the peace and security which he cannot find in the narrow whirlpool of personal experience.
I need to get some vids up so I can have my form judged because I feel like I judge too much. -.-

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.

Fawkk that's awesome. I used to be pretty big into paintballing until I got a job every weekend(caddy). Do you ever play woodsball or just mainly speedball?
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 . 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.

Here's Tony Gentilcore with a packed neck (notice how he forces a double chin? That's a packed neck essentially):
