Deadlifts were MUCH better this week....The only problem was your upper back rounding - which is fine at heavier weights but not at 225. I think you should repeat 225 next week. Focus on your form. Your hips and Knees locked out at the same time on many of the reps - I think only 1 rep was amiss....So you are getting the hang of it. I'm going to dig up an article Eric had written about Deadlifts which might be of help to you...

Here's an article by our very own Kane: http://gustrength.wordpress.com/tag/deadlift-form/

Ok..moving onto Front Squats: Pity is right...Your upper back is rounding WAYYY Too much....Work on that thoracic extension Pity has detailed...and try to focus on keeping your elbows UP...Think UP and it will help. You should not be caving in at the bottom like that. Next week take 95 lbs and do 5 sets of 3 reps. I want you to hone your form in properly.
