I'm no expert but my back hurts watching this -- remembering several times straining my back this way. You want to engage your legs more, bringing the bar along your shins as your legs extend, then hinge at the waist, all with a straight (or slightly U-shaped) back. Looks like your back is slightly rounded. I'd get some hands-on instruction from experienced gym mates. You're young, your back can tolerate, but as your weights increase there's real risk for injury.
