    Thanks for looking!

    This is the last working set. 175lb x 5.

    A little background in case is relevant... I suffered a serious spinal injury a few years back. after 18 months of PT I regained mobility, was cleared and doctors recommended I did strength training to "strengthen my core" to see if that could help with the pain I still suffer from, both in my back and peripheral down my legs. Originally the pain was unbearable just with a 20lb kettlebell.
    I found starting strength, read the books, watched the videos and I am trying this system to see if I can completely recover my health and ditch the pain once and for all. 175lb is not a lot of weight, but it truly is leaps and bounds from where I was just a year ago.
    For my own safety, peace of mind, and hopefully recovery I want to make sure my form is excellent.

    thank you for your time and input in advance.

    Good news - you are doing all the standard things wrong that should be easy to fix! These are too vertical. Sit BACK. Lean over more. Push your knees out harder. Also try to narrow your grip a bit
