Then, we have to address the fact that you went from 285 for a very difficult, less than optimal set. The 245 was okay, but you are taking the "reaching back with your hips" way too far and you are very bouncy at the bottom when you should be able to maintain rigid posture.
The best critique I could give you is that you probably require the services of a coach, preferably one that has experience working with someone with back pain. Your form and your programming both need some work.
