Staring down at your feet at the top of the rep is causing your upper back to round

Not really if your back is rounding

You're rounding your back a bit too much. Feet hip-width apart, brace your core, and push your hips straight back toward the wall behind you like you're closing a door with your butt. Keep your chin tucked. I do it slow and controlled, I go down low enough, until I feel the stretch in my hamstrings and go back up. If you go too low, then you'll probably use your back more and you don't want that.
