Looks like the weight is nowhere your true 1RM. Good job anyway. In term of breathing, I do it differently from you. I hold my breath from start to finish.
A jump of 20kg by virtue of lifting with strap (possibly even more!). Be careful of progressing too fast in short period of time. Lift heavy, lift safe! Good job!
thanx. but i dont really want to push on 1RM. scared i might screw something up.
i did that just to try.
i do think i can go heavier. that was after 4-5 sets of my usual 8-10 reps deadlifts

Stop using straps. Unless you have seperate day for grip work. Itll improve your grip strength. Go mixed grip if you need to. Otherwise go palm-facing-you.
It looks to me your ass/hips are going up too fast. I have the same problem. Lean back before you pull. A different angle would be nice to confirm this.
Also stop looking at yourself in the mirror. I read somewhere itll help align your back if you imaging wearing a cap backwards and pushing it into your neck.
BUT what do i know, im just a kid tongue.gifP
first, both palm facing me ( no straps). as i go heavier the next sets, alternate grips ( no straps ),
lastly, at the point at my grip can't even hold for more than 3 reps, i start to use straps. so i guess i still trains my grip work this way right?
funny that day i didn wear cap. i always wear a cap to gym! lol. i`ll try the backward cap tips. thanx!
