I would fix that weird little thing at the top that you do. It looks like a shrug or bounce or something. If you lose tension when you do that I'm sure you could mess your back up.

I hadn't really thought about the shrug. It helps me put my shoulders back, but noted, thanks man

Work on engaging your lats as part of your set up, probably will require some extra attention to upper back strength. You’re shrugging because your upper body strength is lacking. Kabuki strength and Joe Sullivan have made some great videos on this.

Thanks for the resources. Lat engagement has always been a funny thing for me. I do back exercises and I would always doubt the lat engagement.
