    Hey Jon!

    Tough to tell too much from this angle. Your lockout looks great. We just need to get the elbows forward of the bar at the bottom.

    Checkout where Brett's elbows are here:



    Are you trying to rest the bar on your chest at the bottom?

    Thank you for the feedback. I do try to rest the bar on my chest even I thick about it. I'll to to think about it more often. I'll try getting the elbows out a bit more.

    Thanks!

    Gotcha. The reason I asked is because you shouldn't be trying to rest the bar on your chest. In the correct set-up, there is a 97% chance the bar will be floating above your chest/collarbone unless you have super short forearms. Look at Brett's start position. Do you see how it floats a couple inches above his chest? Make the wrist and elbow position priority number one.
