You lock your knees a bit early on the last rep and the bar is moving away from you slightly.

However, this is probably due to snapping yourself up a hill.

Syla5 · 2 Jul 2013 at 18:36

Is it your shoulders making your upper back look rounded? Or is your upper back rounded? Shoulders back and down nice and tight, this should help you keep the bar closer to your body as well.

Skillmister · 2 Jul 2013 at 20:09

Both.

I'm taking a break from squats and deadlifts for a while so i can work on fixing some snaps.

Syla5 · 2 Jul 2013 at 20:19

Good luck with the snap fixing dude! Might be worth considering some variations of squats and dl's that you could use to help with fixing your snaps up.

Serious shoulders. If only you did Olympic lifts, too...

^This. That's some serious pressing (and while cutting too)! Although mythingx, what did you have in mind for olympic lifting?

Proper trap work... not some silly slow-mo shrug BS.

See the first gif from today? Shrugging under that bar? THAT's a shrug.

Skillmister · 4 Jul 2013 at 17:09

I can do cleans, but obviously gym ceiling is pretty much head height

(and im somewhat weary of snapping my **** up atm..)

edit: i think my problem with olympic lifting really is that i'd rather learn to do it properly from the outset, i.e be taught.
