I am no expert in exercise physiology but I would be inclined to say the exact opposite. It looks like you start the movement by using your legs. Your body moves but the weight doesn't. Then your lower back takes over, your spine rounds quite a bit as the weight comes up. I don't feel comfortavle enough telling you what I think u should do to fix it.....I'm hoping someone more proficient in pwrlifting might chime in.

this... i'm no expert by far, but it does seem that what Oak said is true. it may be an ego killer, but try your best to keep you back nice and straight and sit back into it. hopefully a powerlifter will pop in and give some better advice

The first thing you did was bring your butt up. Keep it down and your back straight. Your body and the weight should both move at the same time.

Your body moved before the weight did, gotta use that hip drive. The first part of the movement is mostly legs. You might strain your back doing it the way in the video.
