    Hi, you need more back tightness all over.

    Lower back position control (the video with Rip saying indelicate things for cuing lumbar extension) and Bill Hannon's thoracic spine article are resources on the forum for you to look over. The back is a board that transmits the force of the hip drahve into the bar. Right now yours is not a board.

    Keep on working

    Dan!

    Paddler is onto something here. There is definite back rounding as you drive up out of the hole and a little relaxing at the bottom as the set progresses. It's not helping that you're pushing your hips back on the way up and allowing your back angle to collapse. This is going to make holing your back in rigid extension much harder.

    Drive your ass up, NOT back. For every inch your hips drive up, the barbell should travel up with it.
