      Here are my deadlifts from last week. On 335lb I needed a “hard reset” between each rep, not sure if it counts

      I do notice how much I am curving my back, I feel I compensate when the weight gets too heavy. I am planning to try my doubles on saturday’s deadlift day with the coaches.

      Claudio,

      You lifts look pretty good.
      You are doing two things we want to see improve:

      Start in a better position. Your back is a little round. Try to get it flatter.

      And, you are locking out a lot with your lower back. Try to use your legs and glutes more.
      I’m sure they mentioned this at Training Day.

      I suggest the following for lifts at the meet:
      Open: 205
      2nd: 315
      3rd: 325-330
