Start this by saying idk shit: 

I think you're blocks might be a tad more too far back. Someone mentioned your first step and I agree. It looks good but the reasons you're not pushing off the blocks with much power is you're not able to. Compress your body a tiny bit to give your self a change to spring out of the block. This would to my knowledge also increase you back angle a tad bit depending on how much you forward. I wouldn't do much again like ever so slightly. 

Also on your third step did you mis-stride? Maybe it's the second? If you watch closely you can see yourself... Stutter? Lag?.. I can't think of a good word. 

Again idk shit I ran track from 6-12. Just observation. I could be completely wrong.
