    Hello mark.
    This is 130 kgs dead lift... A month into ss.
    Is my back bending to extreme, must it always be straight as a plank? Or this is considered fine, and I can keep moving on.

    You don't see an issue with your neck?

    I'm not from the USA, and I can't buy it in my country, so I thought I could get help here.

    Is the neck the only problem? What can I do to fix it?

    Your back is rounding more than it should as you pull. At the top, you overextend your lumbar spine. You probably don't need to have people beating on your back prior to a 130 kg set of deadlifts. Save that for when you are pulling 300 kg. I recommend eating more, too.

    You can order the book from the Aasgaard Co and they will ship it to you wherever you are. You can also probably buy the Kindle edition of Starting Strength. No shipping charges on an ebook.
