The scapula. The transfer of force; Legs and hips = Motor, Rigid spine = transmission. The trapezius. The latissimus.
If you want to keep that back straighter it's simple, you raise the chest and tuck the chin, that straightens out T-spine momentarily and shifts the weight to the hips. By keeping that chin open like that, the load is wasting into his lower back. People forget, the erectors go up the spine right under the lats, not just the lower portion of the spine.
