Squat form check
I would appreciate any input on my squat form. Looking to increase the weight but when I go heavier I am experiencing some pain in my lower back.

You're descending too upright and not driving the hips really. Get your eyes on the ground a few feet in front of you and lean over when you start the squat. Then imagine the bar is across your low back and drive your ass in the air on the way up.
You could do with lifting your chest and dropping the elbows a bit so your back is set. Everything looks a bit loose and that could be one reason why your low back is pissed.
This is light for you and you should be able to work on technique while you add weight, provided you get to depth consistently.
