I realised after that my fan was in the way but I think you can still get a pretty good look at my back etc.

    It's nice.

    Pointers to remember: a. Lower back is arched; b. gut tight as when you'd tighten it to receive a punch.

    Pretty good--push your butt back on the way down to avoid having to curve the bar around your knees. 

    Also, those are some odd lookin weight plates.

    The only thing I'd say is that you should try to maintain a straight bar path. That's done by opening your knees first, and let your back stay in the same angle until the bar has cleared your knees.

    Not bad.  You should be wearing long pants as you will want the against you shins when you are pulling.

    Scraping the shins is painful. Some people claim they could pull more by dragging it against their shins, but just keep it close enough to your shins without scraping them with the barbell.

    Also drive your hips into the bar as you ascend. Some pro's say to start driving the hips forward when the bar reaches knee height, I like to do it throughout the lift, but anyways try and see what works best for you.
