Rip,

You misspelled "Hip Drive". It's actually spelled "Hip Drahve".

Is the little tilt at the start from starting with the hips something that should be seen in more advanced trainees too, or is it mor just part of the initial learning process?

Watch the videos of advanced lifters. What do all of them do with their hips?

Drahve them up. Or it's a miss lift.

The doctors Feigenbaum and Baraki do seem to do it, though Baraki does something weird with his knees. But I saw this video of some guy named Rippetoe doing 315x10 where I don't seem to see it. But I get your point

I wonder where the traditional "lead with the chest" thing started from. It's amazing to me how, as mentioned in the video, every time a lifter tries to lead with their chest the bar speed drops and gets stuck about halfway up. I've seen it countless times on everyone from beginners to elite powerlifters. Even if someone initially drives the hips out of the bottom but raises the chest in the middle and gets out of their hips there's a sticking point there. Every. Single. Time.
