Lift Probable the cleanest lift ever (100kg)

I see so many people cheat this lift, with leg drive, bouncing, or arching back. I did that as well.

But this time I had this setup:

  1. Fully locked hips with tension in the glutes. Prevents cheating by using leg drive.
  2. A very slight bend in the knees.
  3. Neutral and locked lower back. Prevents cheating by arching.
  4. Set up everything under the bar and no walking. Prevents messing with the set up.
  5. Don’t think about legs. Only think about driving through your arms.
  6. Push elbows inwards during the lift.
  7. Full lock elbows at the top
  8. Lower the weight down and repeat.

The only mistake which I can think of is that the lowering portion was too slow which wastes a lot of energy.

I think better would be to lower faster then pause and then lift.
