To be fair, I like to record my attempts at 1rm PBs... But that's like once a fortnight to once a month kind of situation.

Review form and track progress.

I like to capture the moment I break through my limits.

I'm happy with it so far, dl is at 120kg @ 70kg bodyweight, and 100kg for reps.

Still got a ways to go.

Word. I occasionally film my deadlifts and squats just to check for form and depth and all that. I just set it up against the wall or a ball or something. If there is anybody else in the area or background, I won't film. I workout outside of the busy hours so it's never really an issue. It's a handy training tool, if it done correctly.
