How does backing off that much help, over continuing with the amount of weight you're having problems with??

This is where the whole progressive overload theory comes into play. Can you bench press 300lbs? No. Can you train and gradually increase the weights each training session until 300lbs is possible? Yes. The same holds true for the smaller weights that you get stuck on along the way. You're still undergoing some pretty hardcore neural adaptations. That's why you're still able to progress while training the way you are. If you were a more advanced lifter, then you would progress even more slowly.
Your body will grow stronger in response to gradual, progressive resistance. I'm at a loss for how to explain this more clearly. I'll look later and see if I can find a good explanation. I don't train this way because my training method makes more sense to me and because I enjoy it more.
There's no reason to wait to make a video. Your form is off. Practicing your bad form for a couple more weeks isn't going to make it better. I promise.
