well....im pretty sure that my upper back does round a bit but thats because i need to support the bar and sometimes just having the chest up doesnt work because its not enough surface area.....i try to consciously stop it from rounding though.

i use the cross grip. the olympic lifting style grip is not possible for me because i lack wrist flexibility and its just plain uncomfortable. the other grip is a lot easier though both suck lol...the cross grip is just the lesser of the two evils

i was like that too. it takes some getting used to and don't be surprised if your delts are sore tomorrow and if they are bruised....mine used to get bruised all the time at the beginning.
