Hi guys just wondering if any of you have any suggestions on form, here’s the vid (sorry about the shitty angle, gym was empty):
1-excessive back rounding. Squeeze your chest up hard all the time.
2-Hips are rising quicker than shoulders so you’re using too much back and less glutes. Think of driving hips ups and forward at the same time while forcing the chest up hard.
3-You are way in front of the bar causing the bar to drift far from you because your lats become in a mechanical disadvantage and can’t hold it close. You should set up with your rear delts above the bar and midfoot directly under it.
4-You’re looking excessively up. This may hurt your neck. Look forward or keep your head neutral
5-Pull the slack off the bar. The best way to do it is to apply some tension with your hands on the bar to help you squeeze the chest up and and some tension with legs and then explode.

Pretty much everything said here, just take a little more time to setup. Find a setup that works for you. Use the bar to leverage yourself into a tighter position. Your back is always going to round and your hips will always shoot up if your back isnt locked in and tight.
