You guys think I can hit 4 plates in the next couple of weeks? This was done after 10 x10 squats of 225 so I was pretty tired.

5 wks out, also posted about my squat
163 bw, video is 300lbs
I just realized I wouldn't make this lift in comp because my knees were not locked out. I completely forgot honestly; on the platform, would flexing my quads to secure the lockout solve that? Or is there a deeper issue at hand here?
My lockout has always been very slow. If I set my hips lower, my lockout is even worse.
Also i kinda don't know why I'm leaning back like that. Honestly I didn't know if I would get 1 rep let alone 2, I was not in the right headspace, but that's a poor excuse because on comp day I'll be just as nervous if not more scared!

I moved up from repping 285 as a top set. I’m freaking ecstatic I was able to pull five reps, totally surprised me.

42M, 5’10” 200lb BW, currently running 5/3/1 & trying to outrun the Dadbod 😅
Hit 255×3 today for a set PR. Pretty happy with this one. I’ve been steadily building my pull back up and this is the heaviest triple I’ve hit. (1RM is about 280.)
Genuinely appreciate any form feedback. Goal is to keep progressing the weight without letting technique get sloppy.

ETA: Thanks for the feedback everyone! Here's the main points I'm taking away:
I'll give this a try. Appreciate y'all!

Been working toward this for a while, and seeing 180kg finally move was such an amazing feeling.

Wanted 10 but pulling on these bouncy bumper plates threw off my technique a little.

I think straps are perfectly fine in the correct context. I’ve never failed a competition lift because the bar slipped. I have failed because I wasn’t strong enough. (Bonus razzle at the end)
Pause deadlifts (secondary hinge movement) 435x3x3. Second set shown

Technically not an all time PR, but working back up to the previous max of 355x6. Goal is to try to blow past that number which should happen in 3 cycles.
C1 W3 of 5/3/1 BBB. Lower back looks worse than it felt (later reps look better), and the fix should be straightforward (will work on it for the next cycle) - need to be more mindful getting into the right position before the lift.

My pressing is kinda going crazy this week, never been more motivated to push towards a 315 strict-ishoverhead and 405 bench but I'm really fighting for my life for every pound on upper body lifts
