    I tried implementing these cues. I think I did a better job of staying over the bar for a while longer. Thanks.

    not sure there is anything useful to say after Tom has spoken, but just on the offchance I would like to offer my 2p.
    I have been looking for an answer to your identical question for a while. Recently, I seem to have finally sussed it, and managed to find a cue that appears to work (to be confirmed with heavier weights).
    What I do, is to think about starting the pull with the hips. I think of my hips as the first thing that moves upwards. The mental model that seems to work best is 'just raise your hips'.
    With any other cue, I was starting the pull 'with the shoulders'; with this, I can see the whole pull works better, the back keeps the angle relative to the floor for much longer.

    Hope this helps, although clearly YMMV.

    These continue to improve. Get the bar moving a little faster, but be sure to keep your arms straight (think of locking your triceps) until you finish the jump. Also, more weight.
