Upper body: Pulling

I need to get my grip as relaxed as this.
Plenty of practicing and warming up with the first two exercises.

Hang power snatches
Warmed up for about 10 minutes with a broom handle, 25lb bar and a 45lb bar.
65 x 4*
70 x 4*
65 x 4, 4, 4*
70 x 4*

Even though I did lots of practice snatches, I felt like the first set at 70lb required a bit too much pressing out, so I dropped the weight back 5lb for a few sets. When I tried 70lb again, the first few reps were decent, but the fourth had a little bit of pressing. The sets with asterisks (*) are the ones in the video.

Hang cleans
95 x 6
105 x 3
115 x 3
120 x 3
125 x 3
130 x 3

My form started to suffer in the last set, so even though I felt I had the strength to add more weight, I decided to call it quits.
