Hi all
I'm looking to get a little constructive feedback on both my C+Ps and Swings. I am into my 3rd week of ROP and felt this was a good time to get some feedback before the volume picks up any more. These are a few clips from my medium day session earlier today.
Some notes from me:
The C+P is feeling quite good, The bell doesn't always rest in the rack exactly where I want it but I guess that's more about practice and patterning the movement. I am consciously trying to tame the arc and it's definitely better than it was. I do find when taming the arc that I'm not generating nearly as much through the hip hinge, I don't really feel like the clean is working my lower body at all. The press is getting better, I have pretty poor shoulder flexion and I definitely prefer pressing kettlebells to barbells, it just feels like I can follow a more natural path. The drop, my grip isn't super on the drop on the right, I am recovering from a broken right index finger so the hook grip is out for the time being.
The Swing:
You will see 2 sets of swings, the first, I'm employing a bit more knee bend and it feels more powerful but looks less so. When I got a technique session from my local SFG, he suggested a little more knee bend and this was how I interpreted it. The second set has less knee bend. Looking for some feedback on which version looks better and any other pointers to keep improving.
Thanks in advance.
