    Top single today was scheduled to be 250x1:

    I plan to take part in a USSF meet someday, I was curious if this would catch any red lights.
    Bar path looks good, no drop.
    I'm beginning to be concerned about knees; I think that since things are getting heavier lately that I might be allowing some kick.
    Any feedback is appreciated.

    Thanks,

    Getting 250 over your head is a solid achievement. Unfortunately, staring at your trunk and belt, I think there's too much knee kick and I'd likely red light it in the moment.
    Turn your toes out a bit more and you may find you can keep your knees locked better.
    You'd need to show better control at the top and not be wiggling around on your feet before bringing it back down too.

    Good luck.

    Thanks, this is just what I needed.

    I'll be back here next week with a better press.

    Hi again,

    250x1 this week,
    YouTube

    Toes are out a bit more than last time, slightly wider stance. My primary focus is locked knees.
    Can I have your opinion on this one? To me this one feels tighter and looks better than last week.

    Thanks
