Skip to 1:18 for start of lift
I have a feeling I'm not lifting with correct form, even though it feels completely natural when I'm doing it. I notice that my back rounds a bit near the latter part of the lift. Is that much round ok, or not? Also I notice that my back is almost parallel to the ground when I start pulling. I tried starting in a position where my back is more angled at the start, but I can't lift nearly as much weight in this position, and it just doesn't feel natural. So I was wondering if this starting position is ok, or if I should lower the weight and have my back more angled at the start.

Hips too high, chest too low. Hips and shoulders should rise at the same rate until the hips are completely extended. Probably lack of quad/glute/postural back strength as there is very little knee extension occuring and your hips are starting so high. Your triple extension is all phucked up, because you aren't really extending three joints.

"Many basic or compound exercises (e.g. squat, bench press, etc.) have a bell shaped resistance curves or shift the resistance through multiple muscle groups throughout the exercise's range of motion allowing the muscles to momentarily relax between repetitions. This period of momentary relaxation between repetitions allows greater opportunity for momentary blood flow permitting the clearing of acid accumulation."

what everybody else said...
something that really helped me was "pulling slack out of the bar", getting your body tight and pulling into the floor gives your hamstrings alot of tension and could straighten your back/lower your hips in the process.
