I wish I could get a vid so I can have it critiqued.
Basically the problem I'm running into is that my upper back seems to round a little. My lower back is still fine, at least from what I can tell. I have the starting strenght book and I've read it over a few times.
I first noticed it when I was doing 215 so the next workout I lowered the weight to 205. Same thing so I went back to 135 and tried working up again. At 135-155 I don't see any rounding, but then it doesn't feel like I'm doing any work. If I lift a weight that feels what might be right, around 175 then my upper back starts to round a little at rep 4-5.
I just can't tell if a little rounding is okay. I mean the weight is pulling you down some right?
Here are some examples of what it kinda looks like.

It doesn't get as round as this guy.
