My phone fell off the rack because I slammed the weights down on the third rep. Felt really good, so I did another set. However seems my upper back is rounding.

Not bad. You do have a bit of thoracic rounding going on. You're also overextending at the top. Just stand up straight.

Hard to see much else when the camera is tilted and eventually falling.

Sorry for the bad video angles, didn't think my phone would fall. Next week Ill take a better angle with my 380 x 5. Anything I can focus on to keep my upperback from rounding? Or should I deload the weight, 375 felt pretty great and I added an extra set, but I don't want my form to be bad.

I'd try looking up a bit more (just a bit, not craning your neck), as well as simply getting set harder at the start. The second part is easier said than done, but it's something most of us should still be working on.

Thanks, Ill be filming as the weeks come and see if I can correct my form!
