Dude, now that's the advantage of working out at home. Good on ya.
I watched it about 4 times. As I watch it more I may be able to point out more.
From what I can see you definitely have the right idea. I think what is great about it is you are doing a regular barbell row yet you are getting a lot of power and the bar is just flying up. I think it's DYNAMIC and yet, lo and behold, you're not flopping around all over the place to get that.
Your lower back looks a little on the rounded side. Definitely seems like you need more of a tight arch. If that is the normal set of your back then you have a lack of arch and that is something that should be corrected.
You set up with the bar is good as for as the scapula. I could be completely off on this but it looks like the bar comes up a little high on your chest at the end. I know you said that you keep your shoulders back but I wonder if you need to keep them down more. To tell the truth it looks like you may be a bit upper trap dominant which will tend to the row into a thing where your shoulder bunch up so the upper traps can take over. Try pulling and keeping your shoulders down more and see if this doesn't result in the bar coming more to the diaphragm.
I would also like to see a little more emphasis on that tight scapula pinch at the end. See if you can spend a second at the top of each rep really working on tightening it all up and feeling that. It's not a bodybuilding thing..it will reinforce proper movement and progress is all. Try to feel the upper lats engaging at the end.
