Olympic shoes are great! Specially for squatting! I can actually squat deep now with proper form! When I got back into squatting recently my squatting mobility had gone down big time! I started stretching my adductors every night, and that also helped a lot!

hey I just deadlifted 297x17 mixed grip, lite tap and go, never letting go of bar.

well this was way tough, while getting to 10reps I really didn't belive I would make it to 16, but heres what I'm gonna do to break through it-

lighten-up for a straight set of 25ish, and lighten up a tad for a set of 18, then taking the time to just add 5lb (as a rest) gut out another 5ish, after adding the 5lb I'd like to be around 297.

I use both systems to continue this type of training.

nice.

Front squats will be useful if your weakness is off the floor on DL's.

how come? builds the glutes and hams because of the depth?

Weakness off the floor is a quad weakness, not any of the others you mentioned.
