Impressive poundage man, but your technique scares me, or lack thereof. Sacrifice the weight for proper form, last thing you want to injure is your back mate.

Good effort and intensity, I couldn't really say that for your buddy haha (he just quit after a little struggling, grind that shit out!).
As for your form it could be better. Lower your hips and drive with your legs more. A good rule of thumb is to use all legs when the bar is below the knees and drive hips forward/use the back when the bar is passing the knees.
Mongo gave some great advice. Use more legs at the begining of the lift. You may find that you are able to pull more weight. Also careful with jerking your back it should really be one continuous movement. You may get stuck and take 10 seconds to bang it out which I have seen in many competitons but the jerking will mess up your back.
so drive with the legs bellow the knees and then push with the hips when the bar is above the knees. thanks. i was just trying to max out this month see where im at. i havent maxed out in a little over a month or so. im going to be working with 365 - 385 with reps of 8 for 3 sets. that should help me get my form down right.

check it out this is an ok example when you max every other month or when ever you do. Watch where his back starts to kick in. Youll find he struggles but hardly jerks. Your bodys natrual response is going to be to jerk so a little is ok as long as you control your self to where you dont get hurt. Its like some times when you see people max on the bench, your body will tend to arch the back or move in a way to use more shoulders which is bad but is the bodys natrual response.
There us no doubt you can pull the weight. i did notice that you dropped the weight too fast and it caused the weight to bounce and that gets you about halfway up on the next rep. So try slowing it down some and make controlled reps. Overall good lift
