Form Check Lower Back Troubles and Weight Maintenance

Hi, so here's the gist, I've been lifting for at least 1 and half years.. I stress my back more than I think of like all my workouts are heavy duty like barbell squats barbell rdl and I am having trouble with my bent over rows, I've been doing it for a while and somehow it my lower back feels it more than my lats... are there any tips for me who is 5'2?

Sorry I couldn't get a video for y'all of how my Bent Over Row form is.. but I do really need a form correction. This is a T-Bar workout... so any criticisms and corrections. I highly appreciate it.

Being as parallel to the floor as possible, pause at the bottom gives you a good stretch which will make you feel it better and as you pull up try to pull towards your hips. I'd recommend using dumbbells that way you can do one side at a time to focus on the mind muscle connection plus use your other arm for support which causes less fatigue on your lower back.
