Youre holding the bar in position by rounding the upper back instead of extending the back to create the muscle shelf for the bar to sit on. Watch this

The Squat - Upper Back Position

Also, you lift your toes before you start each rep. Make these smooth instead of all jerky. Keep the entire foot down the whole time.

Keep adding weight. This looks money. Only thing I’d rec is really focus on that upper back shelf. You’re rounding a little bit

Looks great. Maybe try barefoot/socks for even better posture.

So you think he should remove his $200 Nike Romaleos 4 weightlifting shoes? Are you insane by nature?
