I've deadlifted 315lb before, but I think my form was much better today. My hips were nice and low, chest and head were up, plus my back posture looks pretty good. However, I could feel my grip was starting to weaken. When I attempted 320lb for the first time I got damn close, but my grip gave out on me just as I was straightening up. I feel like I would have been successful if not for that; it wasn't my inability to lift the weight that caused me to fail, but I could feel the weight slipping from my right hand. I used my normal mixed grip throughout the routine, but for my second attempt I tried using an overhand grip with straps to see if that would make a difference. That was a total bust, so I just dropped the straps and almost immediately went back to a mixed grip and tried again. No luck. I didn't have enough strength to move the weight off the ground. Bollocks - so close!

That does look like better form on the 315...but after the failed attempt with the straps at 320, why would you right away attempt again? Why wouldn't ya rest a full amount between sets?
Because I'm a dickhead! I've no idea why I didn't rest; maybe I figured I didn't manage a lift with the straps, so I didn't actually use any energy and I'd be good to go. Just didn't think!
I was close enough with the first attempt at 320lb that I can tell I'm improving, but I'm not quite there yet.
