All of that being said, it is exceptionally difficult to compare the bank angles between videos with any accuracy...as I read Tom's post, he stated that your hip drive needed work. I believe I said the same, my opinion based on the video I examined was that your hip drive is insufficient due to a back that is a bit more vertical than optimum given your anthropometry and from what I can discern from this video.
What was the point of all of it? Your squat is not a train wreck, but your hip drive is insufficient. You have two coaches that identified this, and two possible solutions, provided on two different videos from two different training days.
With regard to your powerclean, pulling early will have a variety of results. I am unable to watch the video that Rip critiqued at this moment, but I do believe I remember the video. You are jumping early, landing forward (according to the thread above) again I can't watch the video at this moment, I told you that you are jumping early. Your response is that someone else in another video was told he was jumping early resulting in a jump forward. Your response was that you "jump backward most of the times".
It is me who is confused.
