The good

Questions and areas for improvement

• Did 6 reps since the first one felt awkward

Goals

• Grip width is narrow: just outside shoulders
• Hold the bar over the forearm bone near the base of the palm
• Do a bounce of the bar off of my chest starting with a hip movement forward
• Move the bar up quickly and make the top above the shoulders and not too far back

The good

• Gripping the bar where the knurling starts felt ok
• I think the top position was more directly over shoulders this time

Questions and areas for improvement

• Still trying to coordinate the hip/torso movement with a straight push upwards
• Bounce the bar off chest at start of positive motion?
  • Not bouncing off the chest, but make abs and quads tight and then push the hips forward. If the abs are tight, then the spine will remain straight and if the quads are tight the knees won't bend and absorb the shock. The hip thrust and now rebound can be used to begin the push of the barbell up
• Prevent elbows from flaring? Keep elbows more directly under wrists?
• Take a deep breadth at the bottom, then go up and then down without exhaling

Inspiration

Goals

• Keep hips high and chest out at the bottom
• Drag the bar up and down legs
• Take a breadth at bottom and don't release until the bar comes back to the floor

The good

• Pants helped with comfort of the drag

Questions and areas for improvement

• At top of first rep, I think my back moved/curved before hips started to move back or knees began to bend.
• Pull back shoulders before starting exercise? I think that happens as a result of pushing out my chest, but should I also "pack" the shoulders?
