Thank you for helping.

There's really too much weight on the bar for the video to be useful.

Remember:

- The motion is at the hips, do not flex the spine. Tight abs and quads achieve this. If your quads cramp on rep 4 or 5, you're doing it right.
- Keep the bar close to the face on the way up. Don't push it out away from you.
- Practice the hip motion away from the bar. Then, practice it while holding the bar in your hands. Don't press, just feel the effect of the hip thrust (and more importantly, the return) on the bar. If you do it right, ti'll make the bar jump up. Once you have the timing down, press the bar up overhead at the point the bar jumps from the hip motion.
- Start with a lightweight bar so that you can do several sets.

Try again at 10# less and post the video.
