    Hi All,

    After reading the book and watching the DVD a couple of times, I still haven't found the ideal form, so I'm posting here for critique and remarks.

    I'm not sure if I'm doing a couple of things right - sometimes it's hard to keep the bar aligned over the midfoot and that might be due to my hips not being pushed back enough or that my upper back is not strong enough and I'm kipping forward...Thank you all for taking the time to review this, much appreciated!

    A little bit more stats about me:

    Height: 184cm
    Weight: 81~2kg

    Bench: 90kg x 5
    Deadlift: 145kg x 3
    OHP : 57.5kg x 5
    Squat : 110kg x 5 <- not videotaped, so unsure if parallel, although it felt like it

    Thanks!

    Narrow your stance, and don't look up. The heels should be shoulder width apart. Is it possible for you to get proper shoes?

    They are a bit high, but a narrower stance should help that.
