Scratch,
Good job on the deadlift. It is a really good compound lift. You are right tho, it is very important to keep sound form as the weight increases. There is a really good discussion of the lift at CrossFit Journal: A New, Rather Long Analysis of the Deadlift, by Mark Rippetoe - Nov 06 CFJ. I also found the description in "Starting Strength" very helpful. As the weights get heavier and heavier, it will be harder to grip. You will probably find that you will have to use a mixed (over/under hand) grip or use straps soon.
