Weak squat - 29 years old, 2 months LP
Hi Starting Strength community,
I am so glad I've found your book and training programs. After years of wasted time training with kettlebells I am finally getting stronger.
I am writing this post because I have trouble improving my squat weight. Below are a few videos from my recent training. Thanks in advance for your time and help.
INFO:
height ~ 6 feet
weight ~ 194 lbs, 88kg (..i know, i know. Adult male weights at least 200 and I am trying to eat my way there)
age ~ 29 years old
time ~ 1st phase of LP for about 2 months consistently.
Squat 175 lbs

Problem
It seems that the weight is on the heels and my hips shoot back, hence my lower back has to round to lift the weight. Here's another view from a different training day with slightly higher weight of 180.5. (Apologies for the shoes, I am in the process of buying a proper lifting shoe.)

Press 105 lbs

Deadlift 270.5 lbs

I am also rounding my lower back on deadlift.
Q:
What are some obvious things that would improve my lower back problem?
What should I do from programming perspective regarding the squat? (Perhaps lower the weight and relearn the movement?)
Thanks for your time.
