Becoming hard to maintain a straight bar path.  On the descent, it sometimes comes slightly forward.  The key is to really tighten up the upper back and keep the chest up throughout the lift, both descent and ascent.  Also, though I consistently hit depth, I don't want to leave any doubt so one thing I tried on the last set/rep is to deliberately rebound in and out of the hole.  This also adds speed coming up to push through the sticking point, however, it is more likely for the hips to shoot up doing this, so I need to practice pushing backwards at the point of rebound.
