allright i watched it...everything has been covered in the comments except for your walk out.
walkout is important esp as the weight gets higher...tripping and falling backwards could be
lethal, could break your neck.
concentrate on the walkout, no need to step that far back...make sure your feet are firmly planted.
often overlooked, the walk out is...but it's so critical

Wear a belt when going heavy bro. Especially with a back injury.
When doing regular weight you don't need one and it will help all the core muscles strengthen and get used to working with the weight.
I always wear a belt no matter what weight because I have a back injury. Than again, 225 is "light" for me. But it is really a lot of dead weight on your back regardless of how much you can do. I believe in the belt, lol.

Fixed.
Actually, no. I herniated a disk (which is degenerative) along with a pars fracture on my vertebrae when I was pitching in a baseball game 5 1/2 years ago. That was long before I ever did weight lifting, and as a minor league player, my core was at it's strongest it has ever been. Wearing a belt keeps the disk from protruding further into my spinal cord by wearing it extremely tight and compressing the lumbar where the injured disk is. I wouldn't be able to squat period without a belt.
I agree with the thing of wearing a belt while going all out setting PRs.
Most people don't need it with submaximal loads, but since I'm aware of your problem, I know what you are doing is the best for you.
It is better put this way I suppose. Going for all out PR's it is wise to wear a belt. Regular rep weight it isn't necessary. But again, I think it depends on how much you lift. If you can rep heavy weight(400 plus), I would hope you are using a belt. It's just safer.
I've done close to 500lbs (this last Xmas) with a belt and a neoprene belt under because the weightlifting belt digs into my lower abs even that way I don't feel totally safe, I live on my own and if I fuck myself up nobody will pay my bills, better safe than sorry.
