Lower Back Pain and Rounding of the Back? Squat Check

[Titan24]

I've been trying to nail down the squat form and think I'm doing an okay job. Any tips/criticisms would be greatly appreciated

Your back is rounded at the top before your start and you flex your spine about mid way through your ascent.

Widen your grip slightly and get your wrists straight. They are flexed right now, especially your right.
Get your chest up higher at the start. This will probably necessitate dropping your elbows. That's good because they are too high right now.
Get tight and do not allow yourself to relax, especially not on the ascent.
Look down. Don't look at yourself in the mirror.
Get deeper. You are just a little shy on some reps

Thanks for the feedback! I'll widen my grip next session-- I've been getting a little shoulder pain from the squats too might be because of the narrower grip; hopefully a wider grip will resolve it. I'm doing a SS training camp soon so that'll improve my form too. Thanks again.

The camp will get you dialed in better than any posts I could write.
