Hey!

Want to know if these are safe and if I can just keep adding weight?

All five steps, Tobojern; all five.

From what I see the bar is moving in a straight line on the way up.
And the chest part I'm failing at the most? I'm really trying to do this but as I start pulling on heavier weights my upper back rounds a little. Don't know if I'm just to weak in the core or something?

Read them a couple of times and tried again.. This time at 120 but it was heavy so only could do one.

Is this better?

Yes, better. Still some feedback for you though:

1. Those nice lifting shoes you've got that appear in both videos? Wear them when you pull.
2. Step 4 - look at a spot a bit further away from you, and squeeze chest up more.
3. Lock it out definitively. Knees and hips locked, chest up.
4. Set the bar down like a gentleman: http://startingstrength.com/resource...ad.php?t=42770

Better?

First one felt ok but pretty heavy. Last one felt weird.. Like I got the bar to far away from me or something..

[Michael Wolf]

You're still not squeezing your chest up/back into a hard extension. You need to do this before each and every rep. Get SQUOZE, bro.

The bar felt like it was getting away from you because it was. Actively pull the bar in to your shins as you pull, force yourself to drag the bar up your legs the entire way. Drag = contact.

Finally, remember in step three to push your knees out. Not so much that they bend your elbows though.

You have a lot of Eleiko stuff in your gym. I'm super jelly.
