Feel like I need to widen my stance a tad since I am getting better at pushing my knees out. Maybe the combination of a slightly wider stance, knees out, will help get the movement more bent over.

1) Get the rubber mat further forward. Your feet are halfway off the mat when you're unracking!
2) Your stance needs to be an inch wider at the heels and the toes need to be pointed out at 30 degrees (they are around 10 degrees right now).
3) Look at the spot where the wall meets the floor
4) It looks like you are cranking your elbows up. While this is mentioned in the book, a clarification has been posted about over-doing this cue. Read the "Upper thoracic rounding" article for more details.

Everything already mentioned is on point!

It still looks like you’re leading with your chest out of the bottom. Imagine the barbell is sitting on the top of your ass by your tailbone and force it up out of the hole.

Freeze your back angle and drive your arse up!

Happy lifting bud.
