    The things I've noticed are that my end position and my start position are not the same. Also my love handles make my lower back look weird.

    I'm mostly concerned that my back is OK. I'm not looking to win any competitions - just want to lift injury-free. Thanks!

    Your back is set fine. The main issue here is that you are dropping your hips to low, which causes the bar to move forward of the mid foot (you can actually see this happen in the video). Once your shins touch the bar you leave your hips where they end up. Try resetting your shins between each rep, that should help some. Just remember not to move the bar once its over your mid foot.
