I am no expert, but the side view showed a very suspect arch in the back to me !

Surely the back should be upright and not arched backwards?

Yes you are right I should have pushed it farther to the rear and avoided the backwards bend. Darn it!

That video was really helpful but I think it would be much hard for me. I suggest people to not to try this without consulting a gym instructor because a mishandling can occur massive injury on back.
