    These are pretty solid for the most part.
    I would have you lean over sooner so that your back angle on the way down looks more like your back angle on the way up. You don't have to lean over much given your build, but it'll put you in the right spot over midfoot on the way down.
    Lift your chest to start to make sure the thoracic spine is rigid, and don't let it collapse on the way up. You want the upper back muscles to hold the spine rigid so your back doesn't turn into a whip on the way up. Moving your eye position out a foot or two may help.
    Good luck.
