    Not bad. You hold your back in extension well. You occasionally drop your butt a little too low. Drop your butt when your bring your shins to the bar and drive your knees out instead of starting out too far in front of the bar and dropping your hips right before the pull. Narrow your stance 2 or 3 cm. See if you like how it feels. Lastly, keep your hands on the bar for all five reps.

    Those don't look too bad. Arch your back a little more before you pull and make sure to keep the bar in contact with your legs the whole way. How are things in Egypt? Still unsettled?

    By arch back you mean tighten my spinal erectors, right? Wouldn't that force my hips down kinda? Thanks coach Tombro.

    It's settled cause we've gone full circle now from one totalitarian government to the next.

    Nobody gives a fuck anymore.

    Also around when does the bar drift forward from my legs? So I can pay attention.

    The trick is to contract your spinal erectors while leaving your hips where they are. This will probably be less than comfortable.

    Sorry to hear this, man. I wish you good things, although I realize the futility of that statement.

    Not sure that it is consistent at any one place. Just work to keep it on your legs the whole time.
