Good job. 155 may have been pushing it but I'm glad you got it up. The 120's didn't look too awful slow but I would have liked to see them go up a bit faster. What kind of rest did you take? Go ahead and take 5 minutes if you have to before the volume....

I'm thinking try that again. This time try not go get so close to failing. Like I said if you need more rest at any time then take it. Maybe start at 140 next time.

Like the others I don't really know what to say about the breathing. Are you trying to breath into you chest or into your "tummy"? Also, as I think Ross alluded to, a quick breath should be enough. You don't need to act like your blowing up a balloon. But try to get enough air to tighten things up. You supposed to take a breath into the diaphragn and THEN tighten up the core
muscles.

I don't want to say too much because I feel everyone should find the way that works for them. If breathing really continues to be a big problem and you feel it endangers you then yes, rest singles. You can still get a lot out of that. But at some point you will have to get it worked out.

On the pullups the problem is you are not going to be able to progress these just doing the routine every other week. You'll have to put them on upper 1 also. You can cut down on rows as needed or take them out until you get these pullups done up. It's no big deal.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
