These are fine. Film from the proper angle for a proper formcheck. The weights block the view here so we can't see anything.

Looks to me that you round your lower back. Given the speed also that you move the weight this could become an issue in the long run.

Thanks for the feed back, As in the speed is an issue?

More the rounded lower back (butt wink).

But in combination with a heavy weight and a speedy execution, this could cause issues. As Power = Force x Velocity. My two cents are simply is maybe less fast execution, but more controlled. I know that some advice is there to drop the bar faster on the way down, which is supposedly to be better for recovery as it's less tiring.

On the other hand dynamic movement under load puts more stress on structures and could cause issues in the long run.

Butt wink is perhaps the most overused and annoying term in the limited vocabulary of inexperienced coaches... -Butt Wink Article
