My back angle is not quite as horizontal as last time, but it looks like the bar still travels forward a bit on reps 4 & 5 and it gets pretty horizontal on the last one.
Do not be so sure "horizontal" is a bad starting position for your anthropometry per se, although I would agree rep 5 is probably overdoing it and is a result of fatigue. In SS, RIP has a picture of someone with bad anthropometry for deadlifting, and his back is much more horizontal than yours in his correct starting position.
Also, even when you set your back lower, it looks like your butt shifts up a little (putting you in a more horizontal position) before you start really engaging the weight anyways.
