    Bit of self eval: Need to keep knees out as coming back up and not send hips back into a good morning. I would appreciate any other comments/cues to help me progress. Should I go down in weight to correct these issues, or is this something that will get better at current weight as I grind out heavier weights?

    Thank you in advance, and hope you're having a good start to the new year!

    I only watched the 215x5 video



    You're way too deep but also inconsistent on depth. You're shoving your hips back instead of breaking at the hips and knees at the same time. Get your knees forward as you bend at the hips.

    Elbows are too high. You probably need a narrower grip, but also just need to get your elbows down.

    This weight isn't that heavy for you. If you fix the depth issue, you should have no problem continuing.
