Yes, form is so important on those two, thankfully my girlfriend is following the program as well, so we keep an eye on each other for bad form the best we can.
I'm actually much closer to novice with those than my OHP/BP, which are very far behind.

I have the opposite problem. My squats/deadlifts are way behind my OHP/BP, but its largely because I'm afraid to lift heavy. I'm squatting less than half as much as I used to 5 years ago, but for more reps.
I think that's normal... At least I'd like to think so as I'm on the same boat. (and for me it's that squatting and deadlifting are FAR ahead).
