    I wear the belt because of a prior injury.

    Thank you

    Looks pretty good for a tall bird-like person. Make sure your bar is low enough.

    I detect a soft upper back coming out of the hole. Tits up. This will become an issue as the weight gets heavier.

    Thanks

    I'm just under 6' 2. I guess it looks worse because I weigh 180 (up from 168 at the end of Oct.)

    In the back view, your grip looks uneven on the bar. It seems like you have a wider grip with the left hand than the right, and perhaps that is what's causing the bar to look uneven on the way down (bar tilts down left slightly)

    Not bad, one thing I notice from your back view video is your knees come in a little bit coming out of the hole. I have that same problem when the weight gets heavy. Other than that great job. Also, maybe get a belt that is the same width all the way around.

    Here is from today. I brought my stance in a little and I think I keep my knees from caving in.

    Here is the side view. I focused on keeping my chest up coming out of the hole.
