Clench dat ass when you finish the lift and for the love of got do not lean back past parallel (unless you are a fan of snap city). Always keep biceps/triceps loose, they aren't supposed to be doing the lift and are a quick way to tearing one. Shoulders forward. If you have grip problems, use straps. There is no shame in it.

I appreciate the advice, I've read that after fucking my back. I definitely went through a phase of just saying fuck form and getting the weight up anyway possible. Not activating quads, lifting with my back first, etc. Shitty thing is I knew the correct form but my ego got in the way.
