I really have no idea how to fix that. I'm not sure if it's a matter of structure or a matter of mobility/body position in terms of correcting that. Probably strength too since even if I were to lower my hips and straighten my back, when I'd start to lift I'd still get to the same position and lift the same, so...

Well, it's certainly a combination of those factors. A rounded back is actually a mechanically advantageous position for the deadlift. A possible fix would be to work on the setup a lot (feet need to point out for example) and not do heavy singles. They will often look like that. Instead perform deadlifts with a weight that you can lift for a set of 5, maybe do a slight deload even and take care of your form. That will strengthen the back so that it can maintain it's neutral position during the lift.

Haha thanks, I'd like to try 150 at one point, not sure when it will be, this 145 comes up a day later after doing the 160 kg deadlift - apparently it kind of potentiated me although my back hurts (muscularly).

Nice lifting Raptor!  It looked like you had 150 in you.

It took me longer than planned due to a mini deload after having some minor back pain and the start of my peak cycle, which left me fatigued a lot of the time. Anyway, with some delay,  here is a new full squat PR with 200 kg (441 lbs) on the bar for a set of 5 reps.

Thanks. And yeah, 150 is probably my current 1RM.

I bet hitting those pins really messed up your squats, you could do much better.

I agree. I tried using a box, but didnt get it working properly. Anyways it seemed to really hit my weak spot on the squat, so hopefully thats going to do me some good.

crazy considering that injury you've been struggling with.. looked real good, pins take some getting used too.. best thing about them, can correct which side you favor very quickly.
