Watching it back the B.O.R looks bad?

Hehehe... Try a rear and side camera view as it is a bit hard to see what your back and hips are doing at the moment. 
However, based on how I think I saw your hips moving (!), your lumbar doesn't look as stable as it could be: watch for bum tuck. Also, your knees caved slightly, so make sure you keep them out.
BORs... Keep your back and shoulders tight, chest up and torso more horizontal.

Haha, I shall do. I'd have gotten both today but the guy doing the recording is rather useless!
Is hip movement good? I think the way I position my back is the most difficult part of the exercise, I struggle with bar placement and keeping my back straight!
Will keep that in mind when next doing BORs!

Can't see enough from those videos to comment really. There does indeed look to be something weird going on with your hips/lumbar on your squats, and your general BOR movement doesn't look quite right. Are your forearms vertical? If your back flat?
Side and rear views please.

**** me that gym is busy. I honestly think I'd have trouble training there - inb4 "you have trouble training anywhere" 
Which bit is popping? Does it hurt? Does it happen with the raising or lowering of the dumbell?
How many reps are you doing?
It could be a number of things...

I only use light weight when I do mine, although it's more a shoulder prehab exercise for me right at the end of my upper workouts, rather than some sort of delt exercise. I do mine Lu Xiaojun style (I think he's using 10kg plates here), no popping/weird noises coming from my shoulder:
Hnnngggg. Hnnnnngg.

Haven't watched the squat but your BOR looks like your back is not flat and your lumbar is rounded. Chest is also down not up too.

Fronties - by the end of my sets it's all red and angry where the bar is rubbing against it. Is this normal yes/no? I do have sensitive skin mind you (lol) and I remember seeing Donny Shankle have a taped up neck where he'd cut himself, but still.

Lulz! The base of my neck. Can tell I didn't get enough sleep...
When I do upright rows I feel a twinge kind of sensation just above the right scapula, slightly to the left. It happens as I start to lower the weight from the highest point. Changing the angle of my hands or head position doesn't seem to help. It doesn't hurt, just doesnt feel pleasant.. like a tendon or something getting caught.
Anyone know what it could be?
