Hitting Your Chin

The other day, I hit my chin with the bar while doing split jerks. Any pointers here? Should I lean my head back? should move the forward a little? Any ideas will surely help! Thanks

ouch dude i did that one morning half asleep and i was just dicking around with the bar. i thought i’d bit my tounge in half. never happened to me with a lift though.

I’ve done it. Its just a form thing you fix with practice.

Without seeing you, that’s the most likely culprit. Sometimes tight internal rotators can encourage a forward head posture as an FYI.
