Dealt with some form related pain issues (thread), hopefully it looks good now. Thank you for taking a look.

Your stance is way too narrow, and as a result these are way too deep, and your knees are too far forward. These are verging on high bar.
Widen your stance like, a whole foot, and try to keep your calves vertical. The bar can probably sit an inch or two lower as well: there should be some visible meat above where the bar sits. The grip looks a bit soft, but that can wait.

Thank you for helping. Didn't expect my stance to be off that much, it looked about shoulder wide to me from above.
I'll widen my stance, lower the bar and take another video soon.

Stance is good now. Lean over more.
Move on to your grip. Point your elbows at your tailbone. Pinch your shoulder blades together as hard as you can before you let the bar sit on your back. Think tight, tight, tight. The position of your arms relative to your torso should remain the same throughout the rep. You are keeping these up with shoulder extension. You want to focus on stacking the "meat shelf" on your back. Narrow your hands to achieve this.

Very good, I'll work on it. I was suspecting something to be off with my grip because my arms have started to hurt on the opposite side of the elbow (on the inside where the arm folds). Thanks again.

Trying to fix the grip. Elbows already feel better. This video was very helpful.
Still a bit unsure about the bar position. Any lower than this feels unstable.
Thanks for taking a look.
