There's a general looseness from the chest to your feet. From a setup standpoint, you need to get the trunk (specifically at the front) much tighter and get the knees locked with the quads squeezed. If you can get your midsection tighter, and stack the hips up underneath the shoulders, you'll be in a better position to press. As it is now, you're leaned back and trying to press off balance. Also, getting the abs and quads tighter will give you something to "bounce" off of when you throw the hips forward.
Do you have a shoulder issue that prevents you from locking the bar out further back over the shoulder joints?
