No belt, but the dread of the day I start to get weaker getting close day by day and I'll never know when it happens, or if it has already happened.

255lb x 2 - Axle DL (overhand grip). I think my best is 275lb - I'd like to be able to do 315lb w. this.
Close enough? Not by 10 lbs, and it looks like you easily had those 10 lbs and more. Those are some speedy deadlifts.
However, if you go by kg: 60, 100, 140, 180, then you're at 179, and that's close enough.

Yes, definitely need hips a bit lower. Shoulders are too far out front of the bar. Hips lower will help with that. Also, set your back before the lift, i.e. shoulders back and tighten core/lower spinal erectors. At least you did a pretty good of keeping the bar close to your legs from what I can tell.

Yeah, but whenever I tell my coach I want to add weight to my AMRAPs so I can enter it into an internet competition I get a judgy look. maybe I'll swing by 405 in the next wave or two.

Yeah your hips are starting and staying high. You want your shins about an inch from the bar, bend over to reach the bar, pull up on the bar to take out the slack, and at the slightest touch of your shins to the bar push hard into the floor, squeeze everything, and the moment the bar passes your knees you want to crush your glutes together and push them forward to finish the lift.

Others have already given spot on advice for what to do with your deadlift...
But I'd be curious if you switched to a sumo style if it would come a bit more naturally to you.

Wow. Great eye. It doesn’t. Jiujitsu injury. Something I have to deal with that tends to lead to shoulder discomfort on occasion.
To the others who have chimed in, thanks! I’ll get to work!

Wow, what kind of witchcraft is this!?!
This is why my 405 has to be 182,5. Today.
We decided that kilos, incrementing by blues (pair of 20 kg plates), would be OK, so 60, 100, 140, 180, etc.
Nice lifting!

Rogue bumpers are nice. I went to a gym that had recently purchased thousands of pounds of all new Rogue bumpers, but had (and I s*** you not) exactly ZERO barbells without frozen sleeves and negligible knurling. (and several that were bent)
