    It just doesn't look like you every fully get the lowest part of your lumbar spine locked. And when you pull, you're not initiating with a knee extension off the floor as you hold your back rigid. Instead, you're basically trying to back extension the weight up, making it even harder to hold your back properly squoze.
    Does my back look better?

    Your back looks just fine. The last remaining thing to fix is to get the bar over the midfoot. You push it forward with your shins and drop your butt too low at the start. This causes a non-vertical bar path, which won't work well once the weight gets heavier.
