The first couple were okay on descent as you were rounding at the upper back. The last couple were rounding more at the lower part of your back which is putting you at a bigger risk of injury.
I get where you're coming from about dropping the weight rather than slowly putting it down. There are 2 methods.
1. This is my preference. Let the bar free fall while letting your body fall with it. You shouldnt round at your back because you're putting literally zero restistence on the bar. This needs to be filmed and practiced with caution, or you'll round at your lower back.
2. Less preferred imo. Bring the bar down your thighs and resume to the floor. Essentially a perfect deadlift but backwards. This is much more taxing on the cns though and will ultimately result it lower reps and weight.
Lmk if you hAve more questions.
Ya I do #2 cause safer and I'm tall as heck. But it's definitely taxing your right on that one.
Pausing and resetting the form at the bottom is always a good idea. You need to pause to take another deep breath to re-tighten dat core anyway.
