    Very glad to see this emphasized in a video.

    I stumbled across the importance of straight elbows a few months ago. Until then, their flexure was causing a critical power leak. There was a step improvement in my clean after fixing that. My self-cue is to overemphasize “locked elbows”. They unlock automatically when needed.
