Big triple PR! 15kg PR (did 325kg last week, was a 10kg PR)

Hello, I am 15 years old and been lifting for a little longer than a year now. Currently my best set was 275x5 (10/8/26) rpe10, and 315 rpe 9.5 for my 1rm (10/10/26); I hit this pr today but wouldn't be surprised if I could maybe get another rep or really close to. I'm currently 209 Bw and will compete in -198 class, or -181, and try to break the world record for highest bench for a 15 years old. I turn 16 on June 28th. I recently switched my foot position to flat and farther out rather than on my toes and my feet aligned with my glutes to make my butt less in the air. I still have problems keeping it down. any tips? I also want to note this angle of the 275x5 looks a lot worse than it is for how high my butt is going up.

Best angle so far. Felt good about this

170 kg × 3 — 2 sets, followed by 175 kg × 3 - 1 set (couldn't record due to crowd)

This is around my current max. I’ve hit 175 kg for 3 reps after this as well.

I’m able to get around parallel with these weights, but my main goal is to consistently get deeper, ideally below knee level, especially if I want to eventually compete.

If anyone here can point out anything in my form or technique that I could improve, I’d really appreciate some feedback. Feel free to be critical — just looking for constructive advice.

Also, this isn’t ego lifting or me randomly adding weight. I’ve been training consistently and progressively, keeping track of my loads and increasing the weight gradually.

I can usually get much deeper with on some days when I feel particularly good/energetic, I’ve managed to get well below knee level even with 170 kg. This particular session just wasn’t one of those days.

My current goal is to work towards a clean 180 kg squat while improving depth and keeping the form solid. Any tips on what I should focus on would be appreciated.

I could possibly be the first autistic master lifter on the planet to have pulled a 400kg raw strongman deadlift. Also a witnessed and registered gym lift.

Last time I posted a picture at bottom. Here is a video, got to 360lb no belt, 3 minute rest. Hoping to get to 405 with belt and better rest before set before end of the year. I truly hate repping out squats so focusing on pyramid with a backoff set twice a week. Reps and volume typically destroy me and I get pretty beat up after a few weeks.

Please provide any feedback to improve on. Looks like my thumbs switched to grab mid squat, is that a red light? Also any exercises for rear shoulders, upper rear back looks a little spongy lol perhaps I can be more solid up there.

Honestly just stoked on this lift. 30 lb PR. 35 years old. 5’11” 217 lbs. Mostly CrossFit and weightlifting trained. Any comments feedback welcome.

I posted last week asking for some advice. I did singles today, felt better about depth but still think I might be high. Apologies for the angles
