Particularly <strong>I\u2019ve worked hard on keeping the bar closer to my legs<\/strong> on the 1st pull, but there are still more things to work on. On both the Snatch, the Clean and the Jerk, the bar moves forward causing a forward jump. It\u2019s not as bad as it was, but more effort is required to fix that. I&#8217;ve also been working on not raising my bum up first, as you can see, it&#8217;s not completely fixed yet.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re interested, this is a very quick video of my daughter doing a deadlift.
