The main problem is in the setup. You need to narrow your grip so it is shoulder width and unrack the bar with straight wrists and with your elbows forward more than they are. Be more aggressive with the hip reach and try to reach your hips further

Chest up more (and keep it tight); elbows forward more. Also, one half-step back from the rack, get set and go. See this recent Coach Khamiss video:

Thanks for the tips and the video was very helpful!
Good job at spoting the grip width, I have changed it a couple times and list time I changed it I think I widened it way to much. I was going off of the book saying the forearms should be vertical and I had my wife tell me when my forearms were vertical and just makes that width but just now I looked in a window and realized it’s really wide but also I think you can make your forearms vertical at diffrent widths at least I can, but I tried the 1/2 inch in from the knurl and that looks and feels much better. I’m going to try that on my press today and see how it goes, along with the other tips I got.
