5 min. w/u run
DEADLIFT
135x2
185x1
As you can see, I concentrated this time on staying more vertical, and doing it faster..
Felt it way more in my back doing it this way.. No soreness after 2 days, though.. Well, in my hamstrings..
So am I closer of farther away on this?
BENCH PRESS
115x5x2
145x5x3
ROWS
95x5x2
135x5x3
I have to work at keeping my shoulder blades together more.. I don't really like this method of letting the weight go all the way to the ground each time.. Thoughts??

I think you took it the wrong way. You're making your lower body more vertical. Bend your knees more and bring your *torso* closer to vertical. "Sit" into it more and get your butt down. Notice how your upper body is paralell with the ground when you start pulling. That is not right.

Ok, shoot..
So I was right to bend at the knees like I was..
Was I closer to the mark the 1st time?

I thought my butt was supposed to be up? Or do you mean it should be down, but out?
I'll go over the links some more.. :(

When the timer hits 0:38 in your video, you just about had it.
It looked like your lumbar was a bit loose, but otherwise you had your scapula over the bar, shoulders back, I think the bar even looks the right distance from your shins.
In the link below there is a pic of proper deadlift setup, as well as an improper "squat" setup. Eric Cressey also has some lengthy things on the deadlift and are linked within this link.

I'm looking at the mirror behind the camera, trying to make sure I'm standing up enough..
I'll work on "sitting" more, though, and getting my UPPER body more vertical..

Well I don't mean to turn it into a front hack squat. But your upper body should not be paralell to the floor. This places huge stress on the back and pretty much takes the legs out of the equation. By being somewhere in between vertical and paralell to the floor you should find your strongest position where your legs are lifting in conjunction with your back.
I looked at it again and it seems as though you are pulling with youlr shoulders quite in front of the bar. I think this is part of what is pulling you forward and forcing you to extend your legs and bend down more. I believe your shoulders should be in line vertically with the bar.
