On the 1st set @80lbs, on the 3d rep I let my torso drop forward too far, and the bar rolled toward my neck (Scary). But I recovered well enough to stand back up and rack the bar OK. That's why the 1st work set was only 2 reps. (I didn't count that ugly 3d rep.) The 2d work set went better, though a couple reps were a bit wobbly. I cranked the upper back as tight as I could get, and concentrated more on back angle, to control the bar. (I don't think I have that "shelf of muscle" formed by the deltoids, on which Rip says one is supposed to rest the bar.
