Elbow hurt again when doing the thumbs on top of the bar. No idea why. I had to switch to wrap my thumb around the bar. I can understand why it's a suboptimal position (weight more in the hands, bar less secure, wrists under greater strain), but I just cannot get my left thumb on top of the bar without pain in the elbow.
Filmed my clean today and noticed I was doing exactly what Rip said I shouldn't. I was bending my elbows too damn early and losing force production.
