It just looked to me like his hips weren't fully extending and his arms were picking up some of the slack. Tough to tell with a grainy and low-fps video, though.

Yah think? With the plates in the way and his hips completely blocked at extension?

fuck wait. vid is rotated.



***there ya go. please, please, please bear with the quality.

2nd pull extension is pretty good.

1) I'd like to see you set your lower back better to start. It's not bad, but could be better.
2) Don't be in such a hurry to drop the weight from the rack. There's no rush once it's there.
3) When you rack, get the elbows as high as you can.

Other than that minor stuff, looks good. Keep up the good work.

^didn't you noticed some arm pulling? even with the low quality i'm seeing it at the first 3 sets.

Simonsky,

On the new vid, at 28 seconds in. Do you see the bar moving back towards your shins as you pull it off the ground? That is bad. You need to move a few more inches over the bar. Re-read the diagrams from SS. The third pull at ~52 seconds seems better.

Maybe a little bit. Not too much really.

This is so minor an issue, especially since it isn't occuring all the time. And it's likely due to his not getting completely set before every rep (b/c he's going so fast).

oh yeah, i forgot. when i set up really tight, as i should be, the bar leavses the ground that's why i ease a little and this may have caused my back being not fully extended.
