When you initiate the lift there is slack in your elbows. There should not be.

You are not generating enough power. You should come up onto your toes or your feet should leave the ground. Hard to see if you are shrugging.

Get your elbows forward during the rack. You are supporting the weight with your arms/wrists when your elbows are down.

EDIT: I am not the best critiquer for the Oly lifts but these things are blatantly obvious to me. Improve these elements of the lift and post another video. Better opinions could be had from take or meatplow.
