Hi all,
Have embarked upon Dave Whitley's Bent and Sinister program from his sublime Taming the Bent Press book (thank you Mr. Whitley), and was hoping for a form check on my swings and bent presses. Some background: early 30s, ~150lb, 5ft 10, prior training with barbells (strength level 2xBW deadlift). Started with a 20kg bell.

This is the first time I took videos. For BPs I noticed that I find it hard to complete the drop under the bell without a slight press up with the tricep at the very end. Will work on that. Only recently started to get at all comfortable with one-handed swings. Added some farmers walks here and there, and the increase in grip strength has definitely helped.
