Its funny how there can be such a fine line between easy and not yet possible. Good work on the cleans.
Ah–didn’t see the video first time through. Showing some good speed pulling under the clean. Those elbows came around quickly. On the jerk, watch how the bar comes forward at the bottom of your dip. That’s why it ends up a bit out front when you catch it. Keeping your weight back on your heels during the dip helps fix this.

I let myself get mushy in the middle. I actually tried to jerk the first 215 I managed to clean, but couldn’t get it off my shoulders. I also came into this session with really sore and tight adductors and was on my toes a lot.
Not a very good excuse though. I will fix. Thank you.
Also, I think I rushed the first pulls @215, so I was out of position for the second pulls. Bar gets too far forward for me to get under it.
typical miss @ 215, with tantrum
awwww - such a minor tantrum. I was expecting a full blown, throw yourself on the floor, kicking and screaming tantrum.
Nice PR on the 205, looking smoother to my inexperienced eye.
If you look at the highest point the bar reaches, you’ll notice very little difference in the two lifts. If anything, the 215 went higher than the 205. I’d have to do some more detailed observations to tell for sure, but both had a seemed to have a slight premature elbow bend, but on the 205, you delayed the 2nd pull .05-.1s after that bending and let your arms relax and straighten a little. The relaxed arms helped with speed and timing under the bar. You are probably right about rushing the 1st pull as being the root cause. In my lifts, elbows bending when the weight goes from knees to thighs is usually a result of rushing the 1st pull.

you’re right - the 215 did go higher. My body is completely out of position too for receiving. I’m pulling too high and then pulling myself to the bar instead of under it, maybe?
Here’s a “successful” clean with a failed jerk
Nice work on the cleans.
We’ve all had that tantrum before. Frankly if you aren’t bothered by missing a lift you aren’t trying hard enough.

You can skip the first two-thirds it’s aimless getting ready-ness.
That was a very cute tantrum. So cute, in fact, that I watched it more than once.
You have a very pronounced hip lift before you begin your DL pull. It takes one to know one.
tantrum really is super cute
and that deadlift PR looks loaded with weights. What you gonna do when you run out of bar?! 
That was some real impressive deadlifting.
I think pound for pound you must be one of the strongest guys on here who backs up their claimed lifts with video proof.

You’re right, that hip lift may be the very start of the problem of why I can’t get in proper receiving position for the quick lifts.

I lol’d, seriously You might want to start with a Kimba and work you way up to a Frenchie there’s a solid 50lbs difference between the two. And when you reach that level of super-heroism, it will be one on each shoulder.

And then one of us can dress up as an angel, and the other a devil. Now THAT would be a deadlift video!

I’m sure he would get a lift out of it if nothing else.
