A few tips:
- It looks like you're burning through the five steps pretty quick. Make sure to take the time to properly walk through all steps (stance, grip, shins, back, pull - or whatever cue you have). Especially: DO NOT MOVE THE BAR.
- Reset after each rep, and make sure you're tight. Lower back extension is hard enough for guys, don't make it harder by missing this step and then losing tightness through the rep. "Belly through the thighs" or "lift the chest" or "feel heavy in your hands"; whatever you need to do to get tight before those reps. Reset, tighten, pull.
- If your hands come off the bar, the set is technically over, but, we can overlook that...
- Rep 3 (I think - roughly the 42 second mark) shows the best example of what you're doing: i.e. attempting to lift the bar, rather than push through the floor. Follow the five steps, get tight, then push through the floor. I think you're scooping because you're rounding your back from not staying tight.
Cheers!
