good start, especially the one with the heavy lifting. i can feel the heavy weight. some parts of improvement imo. in the 1st vid the way his fingers slide under the weight doesn't look right. Maybe make it more clear that one hand is holding the weight up while the other prepares to go under it - think of anticipation. Then on the lifting phase there is some strange pop with his head and the shoulders as well. Be4 lifting the weight on the table you could have a longer hold. i dunno if that rig has stretchable bones but a little squash and stretch does wonders in livening up a character.

on the 2nd vid. those hands are rotating too much!

anyways good work so far! post some progress :)
