Looks pretty good. The guy didn't seem to be helping you lift at all, good spotting.

Usually when I get to the top of my deadlift I'll do a reverse-grip curl.

Not to shabby at all... one bit of critique.. I noticed you seemed to be looking up a tab bit..which will put undue stress on the neck.. but other than that.. you appeared to go parallel.. with good form...nice work..

There is never enough time to do everything, but there is always enough time to do the most important thing

 

Not intending to urinate on the parade but it isn't parallel.

"Parallel" is a parallel Femur (bone) to floor.  Your depth was just shy of hamstring parallel.

It might seem like I'm picking nits but there's usually a considerable difference in the poundage that you can shifted between these two depths and if Powerlifting is your intention then it's a good idea to practice squatting below quad parallel - top surface of the legs lower than the knees.

Also, not to sound like I'm jumping on your back, but the guy behind you is and theres no need for it.  You are performing the lift in a power rack and you haven't even got the catching pins set and this is especially important in a 1RM attempt.  The equipment is your fail safe.  Find your depth below quad parallel (by box or second persons view) and set the catching pins a few inches below this depth.

Regardless, this is a strong lift.  Lots of potential!

You're absolutely right.

Thats what happens when you type at 2am.

i agree, i wouldnt say it was parallel but it was still very impressive and at only 18 theres a lot of potential there

looks parallel to me....

Yeah, Looks good to me as well. Very nice work. How long have you been doing squats for?

Its hard to tell really whether it is parallel or not. Still a good lift.

However, king kind of touched on it, I would set the rails and have the spotter back off a bit.

It is my understanding the spotter should be there, but shouldnt have his hands on you while you are attempting the lift. From the video it looks like he is trying to help keep you upright, his arms look like there flexing a bit...not sure though.

but like everyone says man thats some potential, you still need to get lower!

and well if that aint paralell dont know what is did 485 the set before and my ass almost hit the ankles i knew where to stop on this one

no need to go any lower than legal depth on a max
