I've got a pretty hard flare up of pain this week, did the first two days of week 4 and had to rest wed, thu and Friday...Today I feel meh..could try it, I was considering keeping the schedule and next week skip monday to start Tuesday. Otherwise I could just walk and rest for other two days and start fresh week 5 skipping those two last days...Week 10, workout 3 was yesterday: Getting harder to push the density and recover, especially with kids sick and sleep being limited and disruptive. Decided to up the weight and drop the volume. Still hard. A little sore today, and not sure I want to do workout 4. May rest today and do it tomorrow. Still would have a rest day before W11 workout 1. Or maybe just do a tonic workout today with a lower weight and lower volume. Any suggestions?
Addendum: snatched heavy, low volume, for half time. No injuries and now I have the weekend to rest.
You'll get better observations soon from others, but the most obvious thing I see is the clean needs work. It looks kind of like your just twisting the bells into position at the top. I thought the press and the hinge looked pretty good. I'm not sure what the best cue is to give, but maybe focus on taming the arc a little more, keeping the elbows back and try to guide the bells straight to the rack position more?Just finished Phase 1, and those sets of 6 are no joke.
Speaking of which, I’m not sure this is the best angle but it’s time I get a form check, please. This is my 10th and final set of C&P, I wanted to film the ugliest because if these are passable I should be good when I’m fresher. I seem to be leaning forward a bit, which I didn’t feel while doing them, but I feel rooted when doing them so is that an issue?

Thanks for the input, but I’m not sure I understand, sorry. The cleans were what what best since there’s zero impact, but I’ll try to watch and see what you’re referring to.You'll get better observations soon from others, but the most obvious thing I see is the clean needs work.

Rather than me fumble through trying to explain it, since I may be full of it, I'll just wait to see if a more experienced user has any suggestions.

Also waiting for better coaches than I, but I kinda see what he’s saying. I like to tell myself to pull straight back like I’m doing a row and then spear my hands through the handle. Maybe try playing with an open hand finish on the clean.Thanks for the input, but I’m not sure I understand, sorry.

Those look great Shawn! You're doing a great job keeping that elbow pinned during the clean, your press looks good too. I see what @GreeneMachine is talking about and would also likely echo @LarryB 's suggestion of spearing the hand. It looks like you're catching the bells out in front a little - to point/bring your thumb to my collarbone. Let your forearms really connect with your upper body at the top of the clean, which might be helped if you pause in the rack and let everything get connected.Just finished Phase 1, and those sets of 6 are no joke.

It’s subtle, like @John K said you look great. I think the cue is something like “don’t move the kettlebell around your hand but move your hand around the kettlebell” thats not it but something similar.I am no master, or I wouldn’t have asked for a form check. Here is Brett doing a C&P, can someone narrow down where I’m failing on the clean? I really really don’t want to be dense, but for some reason I’m just not seeing it.
