Lower back control in the squat (video inside)

[jerk-and-clean]

Mark talks about lower back control to manage spinal flexion. In this video the movement I'm doing initially, would it be a considered sign of lower back control at the bottom?

I'm posting it as even though I think I can move the spine, I'm unable to get a feedback regarding its state (extended, neutral, flexed). I want to know how can I get this feedback.

If you lie on your belly and lift your chest and your legs off the ground (like a performing seal) yoour back will get tired. The bits that get tired are basically the spinal erectors that you have to learn to keep tight. This helps some people learn what to concentrate on.

I know the superman drill. Wha happens is that during the descent, my awareness of the erectors's state gets hazy.

In this video I try to use those erectors to flip the pelvis, as a more direct form of showing control. I just ask that is this what is called control?

Yes...but just to resolve ambiguity, all that drill shows is that you have awareness of and can control your back. But you don't want to actually tilt your pelvis like that under a load...that's overextension, and that's bad. We want to maintain a neutral extension throughout the movement.
