I know you guys aren't experts on form, but I just wanted to check up in a less formal atmosphere before fine-tuning things with Rip (he kind of intimidates me lol).

Solid. I'd keep the 10kg linear progression going until your form starts to deteriorate.

I'm not sure I've ever seen anyone fire the calves at the top like that. XD

You could do with a slightly wider stance, but apart from that, looks fine to me.

Thanks for the feedback guise.
I normally do more weight, but when I was putting on the straps my date was touching my hands and it gave me butterflies, lol ;)

I like sarcasm, but I would be careful to use it in this case, just to avoid misunderstandings. I mean, you were being sarcastic, right ?

Oh god, I hope so.

I think you did like the guy in the video: you pulled it, but only just :-)

Not hijack this thread, but could you guys give me some deadlifting tips too. I think my back is starting to round a little.

Now that's the way to fire the calves...that's what I'm talking about.

Same advice to you Mr. City...keeping adding plates until form deteriorates.

Hey while we're sharing DL form videos... Sometimes I get very sleepy immediately following a DL PR. Can someone take a look and give me some pointers?

Aww, it's gone now. I was using it as an instructional video for my friends, I hope you don't mind.
