Damn man, heavy sets of benching without spotter - you're the man
Also, it seems like your hamstrings are too tight, I would not be suprised if heavy squats gave you a slight lower back pain. Your squat form is otherwise fine, but making the hams more flexible will make your butt "wink" more in the end of the squat. And also, a squat should be one fluid motion, no stopping on the bottom (this is actually included in rippletoes book)
as for the stopping, i know that is correct form. This is an alteration to that. It wont jeopardize the form but it will just dramatically reduce the efficiency of the lift in regards to the eccentric/concentric portion of the lift which is why i am doing it and wy rippetoe would mention not to do it. It is the same reason why box squat is good for training sticking points. this is not my usual procedure for squats.
were you 145 lbs at the time of these lifts? how did you build relative strength? diet?
i am a bit jelly I admit

@TlDrTuna
relative strength as in being strong for your size. Haha it would have been ridiculous if you were 145 pounds in this video. Still pretty good though
