Post another deadlift video with more weight on the bar and see if you can do something about the lighting.
They look better. Now do this, when you start getting close to the bottom, that's when you want to start to reach back with your butt (this is different than reaching back at the top of the rep)....
It sounds like you're misunderstanding how stretch reflex and hip drive work.
I like your stance width, I wouldn't make any changes to that.
You have similar issues with Jonathan in this thread (but to a different degree), and I would suggest the same adjustments for you as...
Do you see how your knees straighten a lot before the bar comes off the floor? Don't use your hip extension to lift the bar off the floor, use your quads and keep your back angle the same until...
Yes that's a very common misunderstanding with the squat, "sit back", a lot like "lift with your legs not your back" for the deadlift, and many others.
About your knee concern, it will help if you think about letting your knees come forward earlier, in the first half of the way down instead of the second half.
There's a more important (actually...
Power clean - you need to work on smoothing the transition between the bottom half and top half of the lift. To help with this, in the first half pull the bar up slower, then as it starts going up...
It looks like your problem is not inflexibility. You just haven't figure out how to squat correctly yet. Live coaching is always more efficient than online, and might be preferable depending on the...
No, that alone won't affect your elbow position. That you will need to work on separate from your grip.
Some very quick points for you to work on:
BP - try to set up with a lot more lower back arch.
BSQ - get your knees pushed out to the sides a little more and keep them pushed out. Don't let...
For a lot of people, it won't be possible to have the bar rest on your shoulders at the bottom of the press. So feel free to forget that part if you're one of those people.
Don't sit back when you...
Do you see how you initiate each rep by moving your hips back? Instead of doing that, start by going down, and wait until you get closer to the bottom to let your hips move back. Doing this will also...
That's an excellent question. I think that you may be better without a heel lift in your shoes. Although you will still want the incompressibility of the sole when considering your footwear.
In your situation, you would probably be best off with making one of your workouts a light day for the squat (or two workouts light if you are really having difficulty recovering).
On your upper...
Can you get a camera view from the back?
That's exactly what I mean, you've misunderstood something. He said that practicing at light weights doesn't help, which is correct, and which is not the same as what I suggested.
Are we watching the same video dastardly?? Are you sure you know what a good morning is?
He might have said something that you misunderstood, but I don't think he ever said this.
