Not mastered, but checking in. How are these looking? Also, how about the Jefferson Curl. Am using 65lbs with these -- felt easy today. Will need a higher step in the future (as the weight plates get larger).

Little less momentum on the PE, but well done 
Yeah i'm still in block one. Been working on ROM, once I have that then tempo won't be an issue.
I wish someone would comment on the difference of low back compression that you have between the exercise (not optimal) and the Jefferson Curls (beautiful), is this a sign of an active compression strength deficit?
That is one thing (hip flexor strength). Also, JCs are in pike while the PE is in a straddle position. Many people have poor straddle compression but relatively strong pike compression.
Yes, as my straddle compression improves that'll be something I work towards. Right now I'm really just trying to get my damned hips to my chest. When I straddle on the floor I'm close, however, I still need a block to get into butterfly properly, but it's coming along. Doing Hip Extensions has helped tremendously with this exercise as has MSs, when done correctly.
