I'm having problems keeping my spine from flexing. How does one go above fixing that?

Any Olylifters also how is my form in general?

I looked for your spine to be bending but I don't see it. Can you describe where it occurs?

 

[coolcolj]

well in the front squat and in some of the power jerks.

Why haven't you posted your workouts in a while? I basically follow your routine and like looking at what you do.

nice lifts. I think you have good form, but on the front squat, it looked like you had a hard time balancing yourself on the way up for a quick second. maybe you were ascending a little too fast?

Otherwise, impressive form.

I sorta keeled forward a bit, my glutes wanted to take over

I still have problems with my beck bending a bit in the front squat bit. Not sure how to fix it.

By bending do you mean that you feel like you are falling forward? This is a common problem...the easiest fix is to do a lot of hands free front squats until you can learn to rack the bar as high as humanly possible, literally if you can breathe...it is too low. I used to dump max attempts forward a lot b/c of the same problem...keep those elbows high, even at the floor.

I wish that I could give advice...but yours look so much better than mine as it is...
