    The URL contained a malformed video ID.

    Your elbows are pointing too far down, meaning you're catching the bar instead of racking it on the shoulders. Ideally your forearms should be horizontal, not vertical. I try and think about slamming my elbows into the ceiling if I feel my elbows dropping.

    Dan, low elbows are permissible as long as the bar racks on your delts as opposed to your clavicles. If you're hitting your collar bones and/or you feel like you have an unstable "shelf" for the bar, higher elbows will help.

    The primary error I'm seeing is that you need to have your shoulders out in front of the bar more as it passes your knees- if you watch the video again, you'll see that your shoulders are directly on top of the bar for the entire pull

    Overall good job though

    mr staley is right.

    hang cleans will help resolve this - it will teach you to use you hips, when above the knee
