So, my comments are on the first video

2. Don't drop your hips low in your set-up. Bar and your own weight over mid-foot, shins touching bar.

3. Drag the bar up your legs - drag implies contact - and hit your thigh at the jumping position. It doesn't appear that you're touching your thigh with the bar before jumping.

4. Jump with straight arms, don't arm-pull to try to lift the bar up using your arms.

I watched all three sets. No real difference, except that you looked a bit more fatigued on the later sets, which is normal.

You never really seem to get full hip extension. For most people this will present itself as a slight (or more) backward angle on the upper body at the top. This will also manifest itself partially in the contact at your thigh in #3.

You're a more patient man than I.

This is correct. However, 4 things is usually too many corrections/cues for someone to digest at once, and the issue may resolve itself if he fixes #s 3 and 4. If not, we'll attack it then.

Heck, two things are usually too many for me.
