    Any feedback? My main concern is if i'm doing the initial hip thrust correctly without knee bend and if the bar path is okay.

    Not a coach, but: not bad. Needs more hips.

    It can be very effective to do your first rep off the same valsalva you did to unrack the bar. Also, you let your breath out at the top of your last rep.

    Harder hip bounce, keep looking forward and try to brush your nose with the bar.

    You could widen your stance a bit. You're flaring your elbows out to the side. Keep them tucked in longer. Tight armpits! Then make the hip move about 3 times bigger. You can also get your wrists straighter. See how they're bent back? Get the barbell deeper in your palms and use a good compression grip. See Rip fixing the press grip in the video down below.
