You don't start by rising your hips. Your hips should never rise faster than your shoulders.

DING! Sounds like Thremp hit your problem. Don't think about engaging the lower back by pulling your body upright. These aren't good mornings. Just stand up.

When I lift, I like to think that im trying to drive my heels through the floor, rather than trying to lift the weight. Think that the bar is stationary, and you are trying to bust through to the basement of the gym.

Ok, so the movement should start with the legs and feel like standing up. I need to get my shins closer to the bar then and press down so I'm not tempted to cheat with the back. Then the back should just follow, yes?
